GPA COMPUTATION GUIDELINES


LETTER GRADES WITH DECIMAL EQUIVALENTS

A    (4.00)
A-   (3.67)
B+  (3.33)
B    (3.00)
B-   (2.67)
C+  (2.33)
C    (2.00)
C-   (1.67)
D+  (1.33)
D    (1.00)
D-   (0.67)
F    (0.00)

The GPA is calculated by dividing the number of grade points received by the number of credit hours taken. For example, a student who receives an "A" in a four credit-hour course and a "B" in a three credit-hour course earns 16 grade points for the "A" and 9 grade points for the "B". Adding those points together and dividing by the total number of credit hours (25 points divided by 7 hours) results in a GPA of 3.57.
