Calculate Your GPA

It's important to know how to calculate your grade point average (GPA). This allows you to fully understand how each new grade will affect your GPA. Knowing how to calculate your GPA allows you to conduct "what-if" scenarios at the beginning of each semester and use the results to set goals for yourself. Print a copy of our GPA calculation worksheet to work through the following exercise.

Calculate your current GPA

  1. Log into OnePort
  2. Select the Student tab
  3. Choose Academic Services
  4. Click "continue" under Banner Services
  5. Choose Student & Financial Aid
  6. Select Student Records
  7. Click Unofficial Academic Transcript and submit.
  8. Scroll to the bottom on your last semester with grades and you'll see something like this:

Divide your total Quality Points by your total GPA Hours (179.33/79)=2.27 GPA

How to do a "what-if" GPA calculation:

  1. Get your current GPA from OnePort (see above)
  2. List the classes you're currently or planning to take and your anticipated grades:

    (Hours x Grade Value)
    HUM 214
    		 4 B+ 3.33 13.32
    PSYC 102
    		 3 A 4 12
    HW 171 1 U 0 0
    LIT 241 3 C+ 2.33 6.99
    MCOM 380 3 B- 2.67 8.01
    Total: 14   Total: 40.32
  3. Combine the total Quality Points from your transcript with the Projected Quality Points from the chart above. Write this number down (179.33+40.32) = 219.65
  4. Combine the total GPA Hours from your transcript with the Projected Credit Hours from the chart above. Write this number down (79+14)=93
  5. Divide the newly calculated total Quality Points (219.65) by your newly calculated total GPA Hours (93) = 2.36
