½ credit = 67.5 hours per year
1 credit = 50 min./day x 180 days = 150 hours per year
1 credit = 55 min./day x 180 days = 165 hours per year
1 credit = 60 min./day x 180 days = 180 hours per year

How to Calculate GPA
The Dictionary definition of grade point average is:"a method of computing a numerical value for letter grades received in school by assigning each a numeric value and averaging the numbers."
*Yearly GPA *Cumulative GPA
![Page 29: Transcripts, Credits, Grades, Oh My! · 2020-04-30 · Components of ALL Transcripts • Signature, date, seal. I do hereby self-certify and affirm that this is the official transcript](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022040307/5ed2c68a07bf3476a34765cb/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
How to Calculate the Yearly GPA
1. Convert letter grades to points.A = 4 points B = 3 points C= 2 points D= 1 point
2. Multiply the points by the number of credits a course earnedExample 1: Student receives an “A” in Algebra which earned her 1
creditMultiply 4 points by 1 credit = 4 pointsExample 2: Student receives a “B” in PE which earned her ½ creditMultiply 3 points by ½ credit – 1.5 points
3. Continue doing this for each course4. Total the points for all the courses in a year and divide by the total
credits earned that same year. This is the total GPA for that year.

1. Convert letter grades to points:A = 4 points B = 3 pointsC = 2 pointsD = 1 point
2. Multiple points by credits:A=4 points x 3.5 credits= 14 pointsB= 3 points x 2.5 credits = 7.5 pointsC= 2 points x 1.0 credits = 2 points
Total Points = 23.53. GPA = Total Points / Total Credits23.5 total points / 7 total credits = 3.36 GPA

How to Calculate the Cumulative GPA
1. Calculate the total points for all school years2. Divide that number by the total number of
credits earned for all years
9th Grade: 23.5 points; 7 credits = 3.3610th Grade: 15.0 points; 5 credits = 3.0Cumulative Points: 23.5 + 15.0 = 38.5Cumulative Credits: 7 + 5 = 12Cumulative GPA: 38.5 / 12 = 3.21
