If your school uses the standard A-F grading scale, you can also follow the steps below to calculate your GPA. If your school uses an alternate scale, please contact your school for instructions.
How to Calculate Your GPA
(standard A-F scale only)
1.Convert each grade into its numeric equivalent using the chart below.
| A+ | = | 4.33 |
| A | = | 4.00 |
| A- | = | 3.67 |
| B+ | = | 3.33 |
| B | = | 3.00 |
| B- | = | 2.67 |
| C+ | = | 2.33 |
| C | = | 2.00 |
| C- | = | 1.67 |
| D+ | = | 1.33 |
| D | = | 1.00 |
| D- | = | 0.67 |
| F | = | 0.00 |
2.Multiply each class grade by the number of credits earned. For example: 3.0 (grade) x 4.0 (credits) = 12.
3.Divide this number by total credits attempted. This is your GPA.
Please note:"Pass" grades have no GPA value.
