Frequently Asked Questions
How is GPA calculated?
GPA is calculated by multiplying each grade's point value by the course credits to get quality points, then dividing the total quality points by total credits. For example: A (4.0) in a 3-credit course = 12 quality points.
What is a good GPA?
Generally, a GPA of 3.0 or higher is considered good, 3.5+ is very good, and 3.7+ is excellent. However, requirements vary by institution and program. Many scholarships and graduate programs look for GPAs of 3.0 or higher.
What are quality points?
Quality points are calculated by multiplying the grade point value by the number of credits. They represent the total points earned for a course. Your GPA is the total quality points divided by total credits.
