How to calculate your GPA
Assume this is the last part of your unofficial transcript:
FALL 2005 FALL 2005
________________________________________________________
ACCT 504 GOVT & NON-PROFIT ACCT 3.0 C 6.0
ACCT 302 INTERM FIN ACCT II 3.0 B- 8.1
ACCT 506 AUDITING 3.0 C 6.0
ACCT 508 FEDERAL TAX ACCOUNTING I 3.0 C- 5.1 [3 times 1.7 = 5.1 ]
---ALL COLLEGE--- ---SFSU TOTALS--- -UA- -UE- -GP-
162.9 133.2 463.3 84.0 78.0 202.8 12.0 12.0 25.2
ALL COLLEGE GPA SFSU GPA
2.84
2.41
|
The 2.41 =
202.8 / 84.0 or
GP / UA
Or GPA equals grade points earned divided
by units attempted
In fall the four courses taken yielded a GPA of 25.2 / 12
= 2.10
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If in
spring 2006 you
earn an A and B in two 3unit courses:
Units
attempted
increases by 6 units
Grade
points increase
by (4 x 3) + (3 x 3) = 21
Your
semester GPA
will be 21 / 6 = 3.50
And your
SFSU GPA
would be
84 +6 = 90
units
attempted
202.8 + 21
= 223.8
223.8 / 90 = 2.49
an increase from 2.41
Grade Points
come from multiplying the semester units of the course times the number
corresponding to the grade earened:
Grade
earned A = 4
A- =
3.7
B+ =
3.3
B = 3
B-
= 2.7
this pattern continues down
to
D- = 0.7
F = 0
