GPA Calculation

Two pieces of data for each course taken will be used in calculating GPA:

  • Grade Points awarded from each class
  • Total number of points a student has attempted.

Each letter grade is converted to a numerical value on the 0-4 scale. The formula for computing GPA will be as follows:

GP = (grade) x (points)  

GPA = (Sum of the GP for each course) / (Total number of points taken)
