cumulative numeric averages (CNA).

not calculate grade point averages

(GPA).

CNA vs. GPA

Cumulative Numeric Average (CNA) This numeric average is on a 100 point

scale (e.g., 87.963 out of 100)

ALL courses listed on transcript are

averaged together (passing, failing, summer

school, nigh school, and online grades)

Fulton County adds 7 points to the final

passing grade for each Honors, AP, and

college course taken, which means that the

average is weighted

CNA vs. GPA

Grade Point Average (GPA) GPA is calculated by averaging value

points (or grade points) assigned to the

letter grade for each course on transcript

Usually uses a 4-point scale (A = 4, B = 3,

C = 2, and F = 0)

CNA vs. GPA

HOPE GPA uses the 4-point GPA

scale but removes the 7 points for

Honors and AP classes

Each AP course will receive an

additional 0.5 point

HOPE requires a 3.0 academic

average (Literature, Math, Science,
