A = 4.00

A- = 3.67

B+ = 3.33

B = 3.00

B- = 2.67

C+ = 2.33

C = 2.00

C- = 1.67

D = 1.00

F = 0.00

Add up the values and divide by the total number of credits you’ve earned, and you’ve got your GPA. Checkout the website below if you want to use a GPA calculator.

A = 4.0

B = 3.0

C = 2.0

D = 1.0

E = 0.0

For the sake of simplicity let’s say you take 3 1-credit classes and get A’s in all of them, but you also take 2 .5 credit classes. You get a B in one and a D in the other (it was a class you didn’t like).

In total you took 4 credits. Your GPA is calculated as follows:

(1*4.0 + 1*4.0 +1*4.0 + 0.5*3.0 + 0.5*1.0)/4

= (4 + 4 + 4 + 1.5 + 0.5)/4

= 14/4

= 3.5

So in this example the GPA is 3.5.

Most schools calculate on the 4.0 scale (with 4.0 being A or A+ and 0.0 being failure). That’s probably the one you should use.

If not, your satellite school, or the conventional school you are attending sends out a copy of your transcript, or you can request to see your file, and view your last GPA on your transcript.

Transcripts get updated each semester, or school year.

As a home schooling parent I simply make sure that all the work that counts towards their transcript is 85% or above, or we keep working until it is, giving them a solid B average, resulting in a 3.5 GPA.

Can’t make it any simpler than that.
