GPA Formula
The formula used to calculate GPA is:
GPA = Total Grade Points ÷ Total Credit Hours
Where:
- Grade Points = grade value × credit hours
- Credit Hours = number of credits for each course
This formula determines the average GPA value across all completed courses.
Example GPA College Calculation
Example:
| Subject | Letter Grade | Credit Hours |
|---|---|---|
| Biology | A | 3 |
| English | B | 3 |
| Math | B+ | 4 |
Grade values:
A = 4.0
B = 3.0
B+ = 3.3
Calculation:
Biology → 4.0 × 3 = 12
English → 3.0 × 3 = 9
Math → 3.3 × 4 = 13.2
Total Grade Points = 34.2
Total Credit Hours = 10
