Grade Point Average (GPA)

To calculate the semester GPA:

Step 1 - Calculate Grade Points: For each course, multiply the numerical value of the grade earned by number of course credits

Step 2 - Calculate Semester Grade Point Average: Total semester grade points and divide by number of attempted credits

Cumulative Grade Point Average   To calculate the cumulative GPA:

Step 1 - Calculate total Grade Points (add up the Grade Points for all semesters)

Step 2 - Divide the total Grade Points by the total number of attempted Monroe College credits

Notes:

Grades for non-credit courses are not calculated in the GPA.    

A grade of 'F' affects the GPA; however, if the course is repeated, the new grade will replace the original grade in the GPA calculation.  All grades remain on the transcript whether they are calculated into the GPA or not.
