How Career GPAs & Credits Are Calculated<br />

The midyear grade of 95 is also worth 95 simple quality points. Because the GPA factor<br />

is 0, the adjusted quality points equals the simple quality points. Because this is a<br />

semester course, its full weight is used. 100% was entered for how semester courses<br />

should be weighted. The quality points for this grade, 47.50 was obtained by multiplying<br />

the weight of .50 times the quality points of 95.<br />

The total simple and adjusted quality points of 70 represents the quality points of 47.50<br />

for this course added to the quality points of 22.50 for the first course.<br />

Similarly, the total weight of .75 represents the weight of .50 for this course added to the<br />

weight .25 for the first course.<br />

Course #4<br />

This is a full year course which means that only 50% of its entered weight of 1.00 is<br />

used. This means that the weight for this grade will be .50.<br />

As a result of this being an honors chemistry course, the GPA factor has been entered as<br />

5.00. Because this school chooses to ADD the GPA factor, 5 points are added to the<br />

number grade quality point table value of 93 to produce 98 adjusted quality points for<br />

this course.<br />

The weight for this grade of .50 is multiplied by the simple quality points of 93 to<br />

produce 46.50 simple quality points for this grade. The weight of .50 is also multiplied<br />

by the adjusted quality points of 98 to produce 49 adjusted quality points for this course.<br />

Note that because this course has a GPA factor, the total simple quality points is now<br />

different from the total adjusted quality points.<br />

This course is the first course worth credit in which the student has obtained a passing<br />

grade. Because this is a full year course, as with the weight, only 50% of the possible<br />

1.50 credits are awarded. Consequently, the student has earned .75 credits for this grade.<br />

Because this course has a GPA factor, the simple quality points for this are less than the<br />

adjusted quality points.<br />
