Grade Point Average
Del Mar College uses a four (4.0) point system of grading. Grades are given upon completion of a course.
Your Grade Point Average (GPA) is calculated by multiplying the semester-hour value of the course by the point value in which a completion grade of “A,” “B,” “C,” “D,” “F,” “R,” or “P” was earned. For example, 3 semester hours with a grade of a “B” equates to 9 grade points.
How GPA is calculated
GPA is determined by dividing the total number of grade points earned by the number of semester credit hours taken for a qualitative grade.
1. Multiply each grade by the number of credit hours for that course.
2. Total the Semester Credit Hours and Grade Points.
Course | Grade | Semester Credit Hours |
Grade Points |
---|---|---|---|
ACNT 1303 | A = 4 X | 3 = | 12 |
COMM 1307 | B = 3 X | 3 = | 9 |
HIST 1302 | A = 4 X | 3 = | 12 |
MATH 1314 | C = 2 X | 4 = | 8 |
Totals: | 13 | 41 |
3. Divide the total Grade Points by the total Credit Hours:
41 divided by 13 = 3.15 GPA
