If you’re in college, just multiply the grade weight by the course credit and repeat the same process. Like if you got that ‘c’ in a one credit class, and all the ‘a’s are in 3 credit classes, you have nothing to worry about., it If you got it in a special 4 credit class, and all the A’s are in once credit classes, then you’re in some trouble.

For instance if each class was worth the same credit hours and the system mirrored my law school, then you would have the following:

4.33, 4.67, 4.67, 4.00, 2.33, and 4.00 = 4.00 (an A average)

If each class were worth the same credit hours and the system mirrored the business school, you would have the following:

4.0, 4.3, 4.3, 3.7, 2.0, and 3.7 = 3.7 (an A- average)

Here are the steps to calculate this on your own:

1: Multiply the number of units for each graded course by the grade points you earned for that course to determine the ‘total grade points earned for each class’.

2. Add together all of the ‘total grade points earned for each class’ to find your ‘total grade points’.

3. Divide the ‘total grade points’ by the total number of units earned in all of your graded courses combined.

4. This is your grade point average.
