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.

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 attemptedGPA

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

GPA Calculator

The GPA calculator below enables students to calculate their GPA using the grades they expect to receive (Exp Grade) in the current semester. This calculator is for informational purposes only and its accuracy with a student's actual GPA is not guaranteed. Students are encouraged to review their records periodically with their advisor.

To use this calculator, you will need:
  • a set of current unofficial transcripts showing your current Units Attempted (UA)
  • current Grade Points Earned (Gpts)
  • current course enrollment information (course name, number, and units)

* Please note, this calculator will not give accurate results if the student is currently enrolled in a repeated course.
