Believe it or not, we are 2/3 of the way through the semester. It's time to calculate your GPA...
- Click on "grades" in Moodle.
- Choose "overview report" from the dropdown menu to view your percentages.
- Look at the table to the right to find the corresponding GPA.
- Multiply the GPA by the number of credits each percent is worth (General education courses for the first 3 terms are 3 credits each, while drafting and design courses total 11 credits. Physics is 5 credits, while drafting and design for the 4th term is 12 credits. Although the 3rd drafting course has barely begun, this calc gives you a good sense of your current GPA)
- Add the products.
- Divide by the total by the number of credits. This is your GPA.
Example:
- Math=86.67, Socs=72.25, Lab=90.02
- 3.0, 2.0, 3.7
- 3.0 X 3cr, 2.0 X 3cr, 3.7 X 11cr
- 9+6+40.7=55.7
- 55.7/(3+3+11)=3.28
If you want to figure in others semesters, then add the figure in step 4 to your previous GPA X the number of credits completed
- credits completed = 34 X 3.3 GPA = 112.2
- 112.2 + 55.7= 167.9
- 167.9/(34+17)=3.29
Who said math skills aren't important!
Remember: If you fail the 1st course or if your term GPA falls below 1.5, you must repeat the term. If your GPA is 1.5-2.0, you can continue, but may lose financial aid. You need
>2.0 to graduate.
