To calculate your semester GPA:
- Get
a list of your courses for this semester (eg. MATH0080,
ENGL1301).
- Put
the second digit of the course numbers for each of the courses
(eg. MATH1414 has four credit hours ) in the first column
of boxes labeled "# of Credit Hours". Keep in
mind that all development courses are worth 3 credits hours
(eg. MATH0090, READ0080, ENGL0071).
- In
the "Letter Grade" column, put the actual or anticipated
grade (A,B,C,D,F) for each course.
- Click
"Compute" on the bottom to get your GPA for the
semester.
2.
To calculate your cumulative GPA:
- Leave
the values for the “current semester” alone and
go to the “cumulative GPA section".
- Enter
the # of credit hours your cumulative GPA represents and
put that number in the “QHRS” box.
- Next,
enter your cumulative GPA prior to the “current semester”
in the GPA. Click “Compute”.
- This
will give you your current cumulative GPA in the bottom
box.
