CALCULATING GRADE POINT AVERAGE
The final examination results and assessments at the end of every semester are assigned a Grade Point Average (GPA) and a Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) which represent a student’s academic achievement.
A Grade Point Average (GPA) refers to the calculated average of the letter grades a student earns in each semester following a 0 to 4.0 scale.
Table 1: GPA Calculation
Letter Grade Percent Grade 4.0 Scale
Every semester, students receive a GPA based on the grades they earned in all their courses during that semester. The formula used for the calculations of the Grade Point Average (GPA) is as follows:
GPA = The total credit values registered and attempted in the assessment of a semester
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The total credit units acquired in the same semester
To find GPA weighted by credit hours, follow these steps:
1. Multiply each numeric grade value by the number of credits the course was worth.
2. Add these numbers together.
3. Divide by the total number of credits you took.
4. Your GPA = 3.53.
= (3.67 x 3) + (3.33x 2)
-----------------------
3 + 2
= 11.01 + 6.66
--------------
5
= 3.53
Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) refers to the overall GPA, which includes dividing the number of quality points earned in all courses attempted by the total credit hours in all attempted courses.
CGPA = The total credit values registered and attempted in the assessment of all semesters ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The total credit units acquired in all semesters

ACTIVITY 1
GPA WORKSHEET
1.Calculate the GPA for Amelia Ameer for her first semester:
2.Calculate what would have happened if Amelia had earned a B in Chemistry.
3. What is the difference in GPA ?
~ The GPA if Amelia had earned a B in Chemistry is higher than the original result.
4. Now calculate Amelia GPA for the next semester.

5. What would happen if Amelia had received a D in Cell Bio instead of the B+ ?
6. What is the difference in GPA ?
~ The GPA in Question 5 is lower than Question 4.
7. What is the difference in CGPA ?
⧪ CGPA 1ST SEMESTER
47.67 / 17
( 47.67 + 50.33 ) / ( 17 + 18 )
= 98 / 35
= 2.80
๐ No difference between CGPA in the first semester and the second semester ๐
8. What does Amelia have to do in order to achieve a GPA of 3.00 in the 2nd semester if her CGPA falls below 2.50 in the 1st semester ?
ILURE AND DISMISSAL
Students with extremely unsatisfactory academic performance will/can be dismissed from his/her study. The status of Dismissed (D) that can be given to students include:
