1) Calculate Total GPA Credits at the End of the Current Term
Add Completed GPA Credits and Current Enrollment GPA Credits, which are found on the student’s transcript.
Do not include pass/fail courses.
If student is repeat/deleting any credits, do not include the repeat/deleted credits in this step.
Example:
No Repeat/Delete | Repeat/Delete (3cr.) | |||
Completed GPA Credits | 28 | 28 | ||
Current Enrollment GPA Credits | + | 13 | + | 10 |
Total GPA Credits at the End of the Current Term | 41 | 38 |
2) Calculate Cumulative Grade Points Needed by the End of the Current Term
Multiply the new total of GPA Credits at the end of the current term by the desired GPA.
Example:
No Repeat/Delete | Repeat/Delete (3cr.) | |||
Total GPA Credits at the End of Term | 41.0 | 38.0 | ||
Desired GPA | x | 2.000 | x | 2.000 |
Cumulative Grade Points Needed by the End of the Term | 82.000 | 76.000 |
3) Calculate Remaining Grade Points Needed by the End of the Term
- Subtract Completed Grade Points (found on transcript) from Cumulative Grade Points needed by end of the term.
- If student is repeat/deleting any credits for which they received a D- or higher, add the grade points awarded from that course to the Remaining Grade Points Needed by the End of the Term.
Example:
No Repeat/Delete | Repeat/Delete (3cr.) | |||
Cumulative Grade Points Needed by the End of the Term | 82.000 | 76.000 | ||
Completed Grade Points | – | 52.667 | – | 52.667 |
Remaining Grade Points Needed by the End of the Term | 29.333 | 23.333 | ||
23.333 | ||||
Repeat/Delete Credits | + | 3.00 | ||
26.333 |
4) Calculate Term GPA Needed to Get to Desired Cumulative GPA
- Divide Remaining Grade Points Needed by the End of the Term by the Number of Current Enrollment GPA Credits.
- If the student is repeat/deleting any credits, use the TOTAL Number of Current Enrollment Credits INCLUDING the credits that are being repeat/deleted.
Example:
No Repeat/Delete | Repeat/Delete (3cr.) | |
Remaining Grade Points Needed by the End of the Term | 29.333 | 26.333 |
Current Enrollment GPA Credits | 13.0 | 13.0 |
Term GPA Credit Needed to Achieve Desired Cumulative GPA | 2.2564 | 2.0256 |
