Computing Grade Point Average
Grade point average is computed by multiplying the number of semester credits for each Kirkwood and transfer course by the numerical value, or "grade points," of the grade given for that course. These values are then added together for the total grade points, which are then divided by the total semester credits for the GPA. The grade point average is not weighted.
Example:
| Course | Grade | Grade Points | Semester Credits | Total Grade Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| X | A | = 4.0 | x 3 | = 12 |
| Y | B | = 3.0 | x 3 | = 9 |
| Z | F | = 0.0 | x 4 | = 0 |
Total grade points (21) divided by total semester credits (10) = 2.10 GPA.
