1. Understanding Credits and Grade Points

2. Grades - Each grade gives a certain number of points. A = 4.0 B = 3.0 C = 2.0 D = 1.0 F = 0.0

3. Credits Each class gives a certain number of credits. Some are 4 credit classes Most are 3 credit classes There are also several 1 credit classes ( such as Cor100)

4. Grade Points - The grade point is the product of the grade weight multiplied by the number of credits. Calculus 1 is a 4 credit class. When you get a ‘B’ in the class, your grade weight is: 4 x 3 = 12. Similarly if you get an A in History 201 which is a 3 credit course, your grade weight is again: 4(the grade weight) x 3(the credits) = 12.

5. The GPA The GPA is the average of all your Grade Points. CourseCreditGradeGrade Points RPH 1103B3x3 = 9 CHM 2204B4x3 = 12 HIS 2013C3x2 = 6 Eng 1103A3x4 = 12 TOTALS1339 GPA39/13 = 3.00!!!
