Calculating a GPA
To calculate a term, cumulative, major, or minor GPA, multiply the grade points by the number of credits for which the class is offered (ie. 4.000 grade points X 3 credits = 12.000). Repeat this for each class. Add the total number of grade points. Add the total number of A-F credits completed. Divide total number of grade points by total number of A-F credits completed and this will be your GPA. Refer to the example below.

Biol 1101 B+ 3 credits 3.333 grade points 3cr X 3.333gp = 9.999gp
Engl 1001 A 4 credits 4.000 grade points 4cr X 4.000gp = 16.000gp
Hist 1102 A- 4 credits 3.667 grade points 4cr X 3.667gp = 14.668gp
Soc 1101 C 4 credits 2.000 grade points 4cr X 2.000gp = 8.000gp
