CALCULATING YOUR GPA
What is GPA? GPA is your grade point average. Colleges use it to measure your academic performance. Calculating your college GPA requires your transcript and is beyond time-consuming. If you want to calculate your GPA, follow these instructions:
Step 1: Count the number of semester grades received in the UC A-G Courses starting from your Sophomore year to your Senior year. ***Remember that Freshmen grades will not count***
Step 2: Once you have done Step 1, multiply each number of semester courses/grades by the corresponding grade points. (A=4, B=3, C=2, D=1 *Fails will have to be repeated in order to receive the credit*) Add these to reach the total grade points.
Step 3: Count the number of UC approved AP, IB, Honors, & Transferrable Community Classes in the 10th, 11th, &/or 12th grade. (A=5, B=4, C=3 *D's and F's will not receive the extra point) **Make sure you do not confuse these courses with your regular classes.**
Step 4: Add the total points from both your regular and AP, IB, Honors, &/or Transferrable Community Classes. This is the grand point total.
Step 5: Once you have achieved the grand point total, count the total of semesters and divide the total with it. The number you get will be your College GPA.
