Calculating Your Major GPA

Example:

Course #          Grade (Quality Points)  # Credits          {Quality Points} x (Credits)

Major Courses

MCOM 125       A  (4 points)                    3                     4x3 = 12

MCOM 140       B  (3 points)                    3                     3x3 =  9

MCOM 151       C  (2 points)                    3                     2x3 =  6

MCOM 355       D  (1 point )                    3                     1x3 =  3

MCOM 411       B  (3 points)                    3                     3x3 =  9

MCOM 214       F  (0 points)                    3                     0x3 =  0

                                     Credit Total =    18          Quality Pt Total = 39

Major GPA = Quality Point Total/Credit Total 

above example: MAJOR GPA = 39/18 = 2.16

Grade/Quality Point Values: A = 4; A - = 3.67; B+ = 3.33; B = 3; B - = 2.67; C+ = 2.33; C = 2; C - = 1.67; D+ = 1.33; D = 1; F = 0
