You can calculate your major or minor Grade Point Average (GPA) by hand as follows:

• On your Major or Minor Form, enter all grades received, and their numerical values.
  • A = 4.0
  • A- = 3.7
  • B+ = 3.3
  • B = 3.0
  • B- = 2.7
  • C+ = 2.3
  • C = 2.0
  • C- = 1.7
  • D+ = 1.3
  • D = 1.0
  • F = 0.0
  • Multiply each grade by the number of semester hours (SH) to get the Quality Points (QP) for the course.
    • Or use this handy Quality Points Table. (PDF file)
  • Calculate the total Semester Hours for all courses.
  • Calculate the total Quality Points for all courses.
  • Divide the total Quality Points by the total Semester Hours to get the GPA.
