How to Calculate GPA by Hand
1. List each graded course
3. Enter the grade value (A=4, B=3, C=2, D=1, E=0) (pluses and minuses do not effect the grade value)
4. Enter the semester hour value
5. Multiply line items from column 3 by line items in column 4, and put the total in column 5
6. Add column 4 to get the total semester hours
7. Add column 5 to get the total quality points
8. Divide the quality points by the number of semester hours to get your grade point average
Example:
Course Grade Grade Value Semester Hours Quality Points
ENG 101 B 3 3 9
MAT 102 C 2 4 8
LAS 100 A 4 1 8
HIS 211 B 3 3 9
Total 12 34
34 (Quality Points)
12 (Semester Hours) = 2.83 GPA
