Guide
Grade Point Average is a standard indicator of academic performance, calculated on a 4.0 scale (A=4, B=3, C=2, D=1, F=0). To account for varying course workloads, GPA is weighted using course credit hours.
Each letter grade is converted to quality points, multiplied by course credits, and summed. The total quality points are then divided by total credit hours to determine the cumulative GPA.
Weighted GPA
A GPA calculation that takes into account the credit weighting or difficulty of courses.
Quality points
The numeric value assigned to a letter grade multiplied by the course’s credit weight.
Quality points are calculated by multiplying the grade value (e.g., A = 4.0) by the number of credit hours for that class. For example, an A in a 3-credit course yields 12 quality points.
This version uses a standard flat-scale letter grade (A=4, B=3, C=2, D=1, F=0) for simplified GPA tracking.
