The grade point average (GPA) equals the total of all quality points earned in all courses attempted, divided by the total number of credit attempted.
The grade point average (GPA) is computed as follows:
- Quality points earned in a course x course credit hours = Quality Points for the course
Sum of quality points for all graded courses = Total quality points
Total quality points divided by all credit hours attempted = GPA
Example:
