    Calculating Your GPA [Grade Point Average]

    GPA calculations are based on Attempted credit, which includes only courses attempted for a letter grade [not
    P/NP or AU].
    1) List each course taken for a letter grade, the amount of credit, and the course grade. Important
    notes:
     Convert transfer credit to EC credit [1.00 course credit = 4 semester hours or 6 quarter hours]
     If you are using BlueNet’s “Academic History,” subtract course credits taken for P/NP
    [pass/no pass] and AU [audit] grades

    Course Credit Grade


    ENG 101 .75 F
    HIS 101 .75 B Transfer Credit
    BIO 103 .85 C
    POL 201 1.00 B
    KIN 200 .50 A EC Credit
    SEC 200 .25 P
    2) Calculate your grade points by multiplying credit times points, where:
    A = 4 points A- = 3.7 points
    B+ = 3.3 points B = 3 points B- = 2.7 points
    C+ = 2.3 points C = 2 points C- = 1.7 points
    D+ = 1.3 points D = 1 point
    F = 0 point

    Course Credit Grade Points [credit x points] GPs [grade points]


    ENG 101 .75 F 0 .75 x 0 = 0.00
    HIS 101 .75 B 3 .75 x 3 = 2.25
    BIO 103 .85 C 2 .85 x 2 = 1.70
    POL 201 1.00 B 3 1.00 x 3 = 3.00
    KIN 200 .50 A 4 .50 x 4 = 2.00
    SEC 200 .25 P NONE, not used to calculate GPA
    3) Add the credit and the grade points for every course in which a letter grade was received.
    Course Credit GPs
    ENG 101 .75 0.00
    HIS 101 .75 2.25
    BIO 103 .85 1.70
    POL 201 1.00 3.00
    KIN 200 .50 2.00
    SEC 200 (P) Not used to calculate GPA

    TOTALS: 3.85 Credit 8.95 GPs

    4) Divide the number of GPs by the number of attempted credits.


    FORMULA is GPs ÷ attempted credits:
    8.95 ÷ 3.85 = 2.3246

    This student’s combined GPA is 2.3246.

    At the end of each term, Elmhurst College calculates a current term GPA, an Elmhurst College [EC] only GPA,
    and a combined GPA [EC and transfer credit]. Dean’s List is based on current term GPA; Academic Standings
    is based on current term and EC only GPA, while Graduation Honors [cum laude, magna cum laude, and summa
    cum laude] are based on combined GPA.
