Example Calculation
Let's say you have taken three courses with the following grades and credits:
- Course 1: 3 credits, Grade A (4.0)
- Course 2: 4 credits, Grade B+ (3.3)
- Course 3: 2 credits, Grade A- (3.7)
To calculate your GPA:
- Multiply each grade by its credit hours:
- Course 1: 3 × 4.0 = 12.0
- Course 2: 4 × 3.3 = 13.2
- Course 3: 2 × 3.7 = 7.4
- Sum the total grade points: 12.0 + 13.2 + 7.4 = 32.6
- Sum the total credits: 3 + 4 + 2 = 9
- Divide total grade points by total credits: 32.6 / 9 ≈ 3.62
Your GPA for these courses would be approximately 3.62.
