Calculating Grade Point Ratio

Numerical values called grade points are assigned to each letter grade as indicated in the grading system below. To figure the GPR:

1) Compute the grade points earned in a course by multiplying the appropriate grade point value by the number of semester hours credit assigned to the course. (e.g., a grade of “B” in a 3 credit course would be worth 3 s.h. x 3 g.p. = 9 grade points.)

2) Divide the total grade points earned by the total semester hours attempted.

**NOTE – Credit earned at other institutions and courses taken on a pass/fail basis are not used in calculating the GPR.
