Computing Grade Point Average


For the purpose of computing grade-point averages, grade points are assigned to each grade as follows: A, 4 points for each unit; B, 3 points; C, 2 points; D, 1 point; and E, 0 points. To calculate the grade-point average, the unit value for each course is multiplied by the number of grade points for that grade. The sum of these products is then divided by the sum of the units of A, B, C, D and E. The grade-point average is based only on credit earned at The University of Arizona.
