The GPA Formula
Quality Points divided by Attempted Credits = GPA
For Year-to-Date (YTD) GPA
The Final Grade for the course will be used, if available. Otherwise, each grade that has been assigned a percentage in the Horizontal Average/Percentage Rules will be used proportionally to determine the GPA Quality Points and GPA Attempted Credits for the course.
The Final Grade for the course or each of the individual grades stored for the selected term and all prior terms are converted to the GPA Grade Scale value. The GPA Grade Scale Value is multiplied by the Full Credit for the Course if it is a Final Grade. If it’s not a Final Grade, then each grade is multiplied by the Full Credit and then by the Percentage from the Horizontal Average/Percentage Rules to get the Quality Points for each grade.
Grade converted to GPA value X Credits X Horizontal % = Grade Quality Points
The Course Credits are multiplied by the Percentage from the Horizontal % Rules to get the Attempted GPA Credits for each grade.
Course Credits X Horizontal % = Grade Attempted Credits
The total of the Grade Quality Points for all course divided by the total of the Grade Attempted Credits for all courses gives you the YTD GPA.
Total Grade Quality Points / Total Grade Attempted Credits = YTD GPA
Year-to-Date GPA – Sample calculation using a simple 4.0 scale with the following values;
GPA Scale Value Courses Credits
4.5 95 Full Year Courses 1.0 (1 credit)
4.292 Semester Courses .5 (1/2 credit)
4.0 90 Quarter Courses .25 (1/4 credit)
3.4 84
Assuming the following percentages defined in Horizontal Averaging Rules and Grade Heading %
Course Description MT1 Q1 MT2 Q2 MidEx S1Avg MT3 Q3 MT4 Q4 FEx S2Avg FinGr
Full Year Courses 20% 20% 10% 20% 20% 10%
Semester One Courses 40% 40% 20%
Semester Two Courses 40% 40% 20%
Course Description MT1 Q1 MT2 Q2 MidEx S1Avg MT3 Q3 MT4 Q4 FEx S2Avg FinGr
Quarter Course 77 79 80
Semester Course 80 85
Full Year Course 90 95
Example:
Grade converted to GPA value x Credits x GH% = Quality point
80 = 3.0 x .25 x = .75
85 = 3.5 x .5 x .40 = .70
95 = 4.5 x 1.0 x .20 = .90
Total Quality Points 2.35
YTD GPA
Total Quality Points 2.35 = 3.615
Total Attempted Credits (.25x.20x.20) .65
