Grade Point AveragesThe formula to calculate grade point average is: Credit HoursxGradePointEquivalent=TotalPointsExample:GradePointEquivalents

Grade point equivalent Credit hours quality points Agradeof96=(4.0)x 2.0 8.0 Agradeof80=(3.0)x 3.0 9.0 Agradeof71=(2.0)x 4.0 8.0 Agradeof65=(1.0)x 5.0 5.0 Total 14.0 30.0Total all credit hours. Divide quality points by total credit hours to equal grade point average. For example:30dividedby14=2.14GPA.
