How to Calculate Your Semester GPA
Definition of Terms:
- Credit Hours - the hours assigned to a course, this number is listed in both the schedule of classes and the catalog and is usually 1 to 5 hours.
- Grade Value - the numerical value assigned to a grade;
A = 4 points,
B = 3 points, C = 2 points, D = 1 point, and
F = 0 points.
- Grade Points - number of credit hours for a course times the grade value.
- Attempted Hours - credit hours for which you earn a grade (excluding I's , AU's, P, NP or W's).
- Earned Hours - credit hours that you passed with a grade of D or higher. Pre-college courses such as remedial or developmental courses are not included in Earned Hours but are used in calculating your GPA.
- Repeat - when a freshman or sophomore level course in which you received a substandard grade is repeated, the last attempt is calculated. If the course repeated is a junior
or senior level course then both grades, the first earned and the repeated grade are used in calculations.

This calculator cannot accurately reflect all policies for repeating or transferring credit. You can find your overall GPA in OneTech by looking at your transcript.
