At 海角乱伦社区, like most institutions of higher education, your progress is tracked using a grade point average. GPA is calculated by assigning quality points to earned grades and combining them with your earned credit hours.
How is your GPA calculated?
- Each letter grade is assigned a grade point (see chart below)
- Determine the number of quality points by multiplying the grade point by the number of credit hours earned to determine quality points
If you earned a B in a 4 credit course:
B = grade point 3
3 x 4 (credits) = 12 quality points - Your GPA is determined by dividing your total quality points achieved by the total number of credit hours (GPA hours) earned.
