Discover the fundamentals of GPA calculation, focusing on credits and grade points. Each letter grade corresponds to a specific point value: A=4.0, B=3.0, C=2.0, D=1.0, and F=0.0. Courses carry different credit values, typically 1, 3, or 4 credits. Grade points are calculated by multiplying the grade value by the course credits. For instance, a ‘B’ in a 4-credit Calculus class earns 12 grade points, while an ‘A’ in a 3-credit History course also earns 12. Your GPA is the average of all grade points, directly reflecting your academic performance.

Calculating GPA Understanding Credits and Grade Points
Grades - Each grade gives a certain number of points. • A = 4.0 • B = 3.0 • C = 2.0 • D = 1.0 • F = 0.0
Credits Each class gives a certain number of credits. • Some are 4 credit classes • Most are 3 credit classes • There are also several 1 credit classes ( such as Cor100)
Grade Points • The grade point is the product of the grade weight multiplied by the number of credits. • Calculus 1 is a 4 credit class. When you get a ‘B’ in the class, your grade weight is: 4 x 3 = 12. • Similarly if you get an A in History 201 which is a 3 credit course, your grade weight is again: 4(the grade weight) x 3(the credits) = 12.
The GPA • The GPA is the average of all your Grade Points.
