9How to Calculate Your GPA
- DEFINITIONS
- Semester GPA
- Includes grades from a specific term, for
example, Fall 2007. - Cumulative GPA
- Includes grades earned in all the terms you
have been enrolled. - Quality Hours (QH) total number of hours for
courses in which you receive a grade of A, B, C,
D, or E. - Quality Points (QP) number of credit hours per
course multiplied by the value of the grade
received (see example on next slide). - Grade Values A4 B3 C2 D1 E0
- The GPA is equal to the number of Quality Points
(QP) divided by the number of Quality Hours (QH). - Pass/Fail courses do not figure in GPA
calculations neither do courses from which you
have withdrawn and received a W.
10Sample GPA Calculation
26 QP divided by 13 QH equals 2.00 Grade Point
Average (GPA)
11ActivityUse GPA Calculator
- Determine the minimum GPA you need next semester
to bring your cumulative GPA to a 2.0. - Use your unofficial transcript on myUK and the
GPA calculator on UKs Registrars website,
http//www.uky.edu/Registrar/GPAcalc.htm . -
