Calculating Your Grade Point Average
The Navigator 2012-13
The grade point average is determined by dividing the number of grade points earned by the number of credits attempted for a letter grade.
The number of grade points earned for a course equals the number of grade points assigned multiplied by the number of course credits.
For example, suppose a student takes three 5-credit courses and receives grades of A-, B-, and C+.
UCSC truncates the GPA at the hundredths; for example, 2.998 becomes 2.99.
