PPAC GPA Calculations Worksheet Verification

Step 1: Get copies of your AU transcript and transcripts from all other schools attended.

Step 2: Calculate the sum of total GPA hours shown on all transfer transcripts. Calculate the sum of total quality points listed on all transfer transcripts. Example: Southern Union transcript shows 10 hours and 37 points; USA transcripts show 14 hours (6 + 8) and 56 points (24 + 32) so total hours = 24 and total points = 93.

Step 3: Compare these transfer totals to the ones listed on your AU transcript near the end in a section called Transcript Totals (Undergraduate). The bottom line will show Total Transfer GPA Hours and Quality Points.

Step 4: Do they match. If yes, proceed Step 4: Do they match? If yes, proceed. If not, have you forgotten to have a transfer transcript sent to AU?

Step 5: Have you gapped a course (used the grade adjustment policy to exclude a course from the calculation of your Auburn GPA)? If so, add the hours for the course and the points you would have earned back to the total institution hours.

Step 6: Add total institution and transfer GPA hours Step 6: Add total institution and transfer GPA hours. Add total institution and transfer quality points. Divide the quality points by the GPA hours to calculate your Undergraduate GPA.

Step 7: Compare this Undergraduate GPA, calculated on your AU transcript, with the one on your PPAC GPA Worksheet. Do they match?

Step 8: If the Undergraduate GPAs on your Auburn transcript and on your PPAC GPA Worksheet do not match, you have a mistake somewhere. Add BCPM points and All Other points on your PPAC GPA Worksheet. Does this total match the total shown on the AU transcript for total points? If these do not match, the mistake is in one of the points columns.

Step 9: Add BCPM hours and All Other hours on your PPAC GPA Worksheet Step 9: Add BCPM hours and All Other hours on your PPAC GPA Worksheet. Does this total match the total shown on the AU transcript for hours? If not, the mistake is in one of the hours columns.

Step 10: Divide BCPM points by BCPM hours on your PPAC GPA Worksheet Step 10: Divide BCPM points by BCPM hours on your PPAC GPA Worksheet. This is the BCPM GPA.

Step 11: Divide All Other points by All Other hours on your PPAC GPA Worksheet. This is the All Other Courses GPA.

Check the formatting of the GPA Worksheet. If you used the PPAC GPA Template, your formatting should be correct. If you used the PPAC Sample GPA Worksheet, you may have some formatting errors.

Step 1: Are all courses with grades of S, U, W, P, Exempt, etc Step 1: Are all courses with grades of S, U, W, P, Exempt, etc., such as advanced placement (AP), international baccalaureate (IB) and similarly graded courses shown at the top of the worksheet?

Step 2: Are the transfer course prefixes and numbers, course titles, grades, hours and points listed as shown on the transfer transcripts? Can all course titles and numbers be read clearly? If not, use abbreviations and do not capitalize all letters in the course titles so they will fit inside the columns.

Step 3: Are the Auburn course prefixes and numbers, course titles, grades, hours and points listed as shown on the Auburn transcript?

Step 4: Are all GPAs rounded to two decimal points?

Step 5: Is the worksheet printed using landscape orientation Step 5: Is the worksheet printed using landscape orientation? Does it have gridlines? Are items centered under the columns? Are all entries legible? Can the font, margins or rows be adjusted so the worksheet will fit on a single page?
