How to calculate semester and cumulative GPA? 
03/30/2017 24
The semester GPA is computed as follows:
• Determine course quality points by multiplying number of course credit hours by value of letter grade
• Add the total quality points and the total number of corresponding credit hours
• Divide the total quality points by the total number of
credit hours
For Example:
(3 X 2.5) + (3 x 3.5)+ (4 x 2.0) + (3 x 3.5) + (3 x 3.0) = 2.84 3 + 3 + 4 + 3 + 3
03/30/2017 2525
• Determine quality points of all courses taken
• Add the total quality points and the total number of corresponding credit hours
• Divide the total quality points by the total
number credit hours For Example:
(2.5 X 2) + (3.5 X 2) + (2.0 X 4) + (3.5 X 3) + (3.0 X 3) (3.5 X 3) + (2.0 X 4) + (3.5 X 3) + ............
