Calculate your GPA
STEP 1: List all of the courses you’ve attempted, the corresponding credit values (0.5 credit or 1.0 credit), and your final grades
STEP 2: Record the grade points earned for each course and add them up. Remember 0.5 credit courses are worth half of the point value (i.e. B+ are 9.00 points for a 1.0 credit, but 4.50 points for 0.5 credit course).
STEP 3: Add up the number of credits that you’ve taken
STEP 4: Divide the total number of grade points by the total number of credits
