GPA Calculation
GPA’s cannot be given out over the telephone. You may come in to the Office of the Registrar and ask to see your own GPA by showing your identification. You can also access your Unofficial Transcript through myGateway.
To calculate your cumulative GPA you will need to do the following: Divide the total quality points by total GPA hours (as it appears on your academic transcript). Courses that may be excluded from this calculation are W’s, Q’s, and any repeated courses that are being excluded from the GPA calculation. Excluded courses are identified with an “E” in the far right column on the transcript.
- Add the credit hours together (GPA hours)
- Add the quality points together
Divide the quality points by the GPA hours.
The graduation GPA is based on courses being used in your degree plan, so it may differ from cumulative GPA
