Grade Point Average

Calculating and understanding grades can be confusing. A grade point average (GPA) is computed by dividing the grade points by the number of semester hours of academic work attempted. To compute a GPA you must know:

• The number of credit hour(s) per course:
  
  1 hour = 1 credit
  3 hours = 3 credits

• The letter grade earned per course:
  
  A – 4 point value
  B – 3 point value
  C – 2 point value
  D – 1 point value
  F – 0 point value

Grades assigned as NC, W, I, IP, or P are not computed in the grade point average.
