How to Compute Your GPA

Each course carries a credit value (1-6) and each grade received carries a quality point value (0.00 – 4.00). To compute your GPA, multiply the credit value by the quality point value to get the quality points received for that course. Repeat this for each course in a semester and total your credits attempted, and quality points. Divide quality points by credits attempted to get your GPA.

How Does Repeating a Course Change my GPA

When a course with a C-, D, or F is repeated, the full affect of the first occurrence of the course is replaced with the second occurrence. The first course will still show on your transcript and will be effective for the semester it was taken, but after it is repeated the cumulative GPA will reflect the second grade. When computing the cumulative major GPA, for example, count the credits and quality points associated with the second grade and do not count the first.
