Worked GPA Example (Auburn)
Suppose a student completes the following courses in one semester:
Course | Grade | Credit Hours | Quality Points |
|---|---|---|---|
Math | A | 3 | 3 × 4.00 = 12.00 |
Biology | B+ | 4 | 4 × 3.33 = 13.32 |
History | B | 3 | 3 × 3.00 = 9.00 |
English | C+ | 3 | 3 × 2.33 = 6.99 |
Total Quality Points: 41.31
Total Credit Hours: 13
Semester GPA=41.31÷13=3.18\text{Semester GPA} = 41.31 ÷ 13 = \textbf{3.18}Semester GPA=41.31÷13=3.18
