Grade Point Average (GPA)
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 below:
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.
