A “grade point average” is computed each term by dividing the total grade points earned by the total units attempted.

For example, a student who earns a grade of A in six units, B in three units, C in three units, D in three units, and F in two and one-half units would have a grade-point average of 2.40. The computation is shown to the right:

6 units A . . . . . . . . . . . . x 4 equals 24 grade points

3 units B . . . . . . . . . . . . x 3 equals 9 grade points

3 units C . . . . . . . . . . . . x 2 equals 6 grade points

3 units D . . . . . . . . . . . . x 1 equals 3 grade points

2½ units F . . . . . . . . . . x 0 equals 0 grade points

17½ units. . . . . . . . . . . . total equals 42 grade points

The 42 grade points divided by 17½ units equals a 2.40 grade point average.

“Cumulative grade point average” refers to the combined grade point average earned for all terms in which a student has been enrolled in college-level work at CR.
