For
calculating GPA, each letter grade has a point value. Listed below
are the values:

The grade points
are determined by multiplying the number of points a grade is worth
times the credit hours a course carries. Thus a grade of an "A"
(4 points) in a 5 credit hour course (4 x 5) equals 20 points. The
same grade "A" in a 3 credit hour course (4 x 3) equals
12 points. Example: A "CIS" student's grades may appear
as follows:
|
Credit

| SCT 100

Individual course points are added together to determine total points.
To determine the GPA, divide total points by total credit hours:
38 / 14 = 2.71 GPA.
