A grade point average (GPA) is numerical calculation of a student’s academic performance. Each grade is assigned is number value, and then you calculate the average of your grades.
Semester GPA = average of a student's performance for that particular semester.
Cumulative GPA = average of a student's performance for ALL semesters at HU.
How to Calculate Your GPA:
Total Quality Points / Total Credits Attempted
Here's an example:
Sample GPA | ||||
| Course Name | Attempted Hours (this will always be 3) | Grade | Numerical Value of Grade | Quality Points (Attempted Hours X Numerical Value of Grade) |
| Intro to Program Management | 3 | A | 4.00 | 12.00 |
| Intro to Data Sciences | 3 | B | 3.00 | 9.00 |
| Intro to Computer Information Sciences | 3 | C | 2.00 | 6.00 |
| Intro to Learning Technologies & Media Systems | 3 | F | 0.00 | 0.00 |
| Totals | 12 | 27 | ||
| GPA (Total Quality Points / Total Credits Attempted) | 27/12 = 2.25 | |||
