Grades, Grade Points and GPA
For every letter grade you earn, there are a corresponding number of grade points that are added into your totals. The following chart can be used to determine the number of grade points awarded for each letter grade.
Units | Letter Grade | Grade Points |
1 | A | 4 |
1 | A- | 3.7 |
1 | B+ | 3.3 |
1 | B | 3 |
1 | B- | 2.7 |
1 | C+ | 2.3 |
1 | C | 2 |
1 | C- | 1.7 |
1 | D+ | 1.3 |
1 | D | 1 |
1 | D- | 0.7 |
1 | F/U | 0 |
For courses that are worth more than 1 unit, multiply the number of units awarded for the course by the number of grade points from above. Your GPA is calculated by dividing the total number grade points earned by the total number of units attempted (all courses in which you received a letter grade (A – F).GPA = grade points divided by units attempted
Calculating New GPA
To calculate how a particular course will change the GPA: start with the number of grade points you have already earned (Gpts). Then add to this the number of grade points you expect to earn for the new course (new Gpts). Add the new units attempted (new UA) to the units you have already attempted (UA) and then do the division.New GPA = Gpts + new Gpts divided by UA + new UA
