Grade Point Average (GPA) Calculation Worksheet

To calculate your GPA, multiply the point value of your grade by the total number of units and divide the total grade points by the total units. The grade point values for A and A+ are the same (4.0) and the range value of A - F appears below. If you have a mixture of semester and quarter units, translate quarter units to semester units using the following formula - Q units x .66 = Semester units.

The online application will direct you to enter two separate GPAs for coursework completed as an undergraduate: 1) all courses (excluding Physical Education courses) taken after the first two years of undergraduate work, and 2) all courses taken in your major.

1. After the first 2 years: _____________________
2. Major GPA: ___________________________
