GPA Calculation
Semester GPA Formula
GPA = Σ(Grade Points × Credit Hours) / Σ(Credit Hours)
Example Calculation
| Course | Credits | Grade | Points | Weighted |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Data Structures | 4 | A (4.0) | 4 × 4.0 = | 16.0 |
| Database Systems | 3 | B+ (3.3) | 3 × 3.3 = | 9.9 |
| Networks | 3 | B (3.0) | 3 × 3.0 = | 9.0 |
| Mathematics | 4 | A- (3.7) | 4 × 3.7 = | 14.8 |
| Total | 14 | 49.7 |
GPA = 49.7 / 14 = 3.55
CGPA
Cumulative GPA averages GPA across all completed semesters:
CGPA = Σ(All Weighted Points) / Σ(All Credits)
