| The grade
point average is calculated by dividing the total number of
grade points by the total number of graded credits
attempted. Thus, a student who has attempted 60 credit hours
and has accumulated 120 grade points would have a grade
point average of 2.00 or a "C" average. Failures are
included in the calculation of the grade point average until
the course has been repeated and passed. |
Answers the following questions:
- How will the grades that I anticipate receiving in the courses I am now taking affect my overall GPA?
- What will it take and how many credit hours will I need to raise my GPA to a new specified level?
- What grade average do I need to achieve this term to raise my cumulative GPA to a new specified level?
