How Do I Calculate My Grade Point Average (GPA)?

Each letter grade has a point value:
A = 4 pts, B = 3 pts, C = 2 pts, D = 1 pt, F = 0 pt

To determine your grade point average (GPA), multiply the number of points for each grade earned times the number of the course’s credits.  A “B” (three points) in a three credit course is worth nine points.  An “A” (four points) in the same three-credit course is worth 12 points.

Add the total quality-points for all courses and divide by the total number of attempted credit hours.
