Determining Your GPA

There is a built in GPA calculator in your Degree Works worksheet to assist you with this process.

Definitions

Are referred to as the total number of credit hours or "Quality Hours" for a course.

The figure obtained by multiplying a course's credit hours by numerical value of the grade assigned. The numerical value of grades is:

A = 4.0
A- = 3.7

B+ = 3.3
B = 3.0
B- = 2.7

C+ = 2.3
C = 2.0
C- = 1.7

D+ = 1.3
D = 1.0
D- = 0.7

Grades of I, AU, W, WI and R have neither credit nor quality points assigned.

Includes all credit and non-credit bearing courses with grades of 'A' - 'F', 'W' and 'I'. It also includes Transfer Credits and Excluded courses.

Includes all credit and non-credit bearing courses with grades of 'A' - 'D-'. It also includes Transfer Credits.

Includes all credit bearing hours with grades of 'A' - 'D-'. It also includes Transfer Credits.

Includes all MCC credit-bearing hours with grades of 'A' - 'F'.

Calculate only for credit courses completed during the semester with grades of A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C, C-, D+, D, D-, or F as follows:

Sample Semester Grades
Course	Quality Hours	Grade	Quality Point Value	Quality Point Calculation	Total Quality Points
ENG 101	3	F	0	(3 X 0.0)	= 0.0
GEO 101	4	C-	1.7	(4 X 1.7)	= 6.8
ART 103	*	I	*	(---)	*
HIS 103	3	B	3	(3 X 3.0)	= 9.0
MAT 170	3	D+	1.3	(3 X 1.3)	= 3.9
PE 101	2	A	4	(2 X 4.0)	= 8.0
	15				27.7

CURRENT GPA: 27.7 ÷ 15 = 1.846

* - The "I" grade is not used computation of GPA. This computation is for one semester only.

Cumulative GPA is an average based on dividing the total quality points by the total quality hours earned at MCC.

Please Note: Transfer credit & Credit by Exam are not included in the computation of the cumulative GPA.
