Your GPA (Grade Point Average) is the average of your end of term grades. You can figure your GPA on a semester by semester basis or for your cumulative, overall GPA.
Grades are assigned a numerical value:
A=4, B=3, C=2, D=1, F=0
Note: Units attempted that result in P/NP, W, IP, RD or INC grades are not used to calculate the GPA.
