Write down each class and grade on a sheet of paper.
Determine the numerical equivalent for each of your grades and list it on the paper. The numerical equivalent is as follows: A-plus equals 4.3, A equals 4.0, A-minus equals 3.7, B-plus equals 3.3, B equals 3.0, B-minus equals 2.7, C-plus equals 2.3, C equals 2.0, C-minus equals 1.7, D-plus equals 1.3, D equals 1.0, D-minus equals 0.7, and a F and U receive no points.
Add up the numerical equivalents for each grade you received and divide the total by the number of courses you took. This is your GPA.
List the class, grade and semester hours credited for each course taken during the semester on a sheet of paper.
Find out the number of quality points you have earned for each course, multiply the number of semester hours for each course by the numerical equivalent of the grade received. List the quality points on the paper.
Add up the total number of quality points received for the semester and divide by the number of semester hours that are relevant to calculate your GPA. Include semester hours for classes that you received a U or F. Do not include semester hours for the classes you received an S or P in.
