How do I calculate my GPA?
For scholarships, all original/earned grades (grade points of all Carleton credits/courses) taken in the last 12-month period (previous Summer, Fall and Winter terms) are included in the calculation of your annual GPA. For each of your courses you will be given a letter grade. That grade corresponds to a numerical value.
You can find the letter to numerical value conversion table here.
To calculate your annual GPA follow these steps:
- Add all the sums and divide by the total number of credits.
- Determine the letter grades for each of your courses.
- Determine the numeric value associated with each grade.
- Multiply that number by the credit value of the course.
- Please note, scholarship assessment is based on annual GPA, not CGPA.
