Example Calculation

Let's calculate the GPA for a student who has taken three courses:

Course 1: 3 credit hours, grade B (3.0)
Course 2: 4 credit hours, grade A- (3.7)
Course 3: 3 credit hours, grade B+ (3.3)

Calculation Steps:

Calculate grade points for each course:
- Course 1: 3 × 3.0 = 9.0
- Course 2: 4 × 3.7 = 14.8
- Course 3: 3 × 3.3 = 9.9
Sum all grade points: 9.0 + 14.8 + 9.9 = 33.7
Sum all credit hours: 3 + 4 + 3 = 10
Calculate GPA: 33.7 / 10 = 3.37

The calculated GPA is 3.37, which is a B+ on the 4.0 scale.
