Grade Point Average (GPA)
A numerical value derived from dividing the number of grade points earned by the number of credits attempted on a regular grade basis. P-NC, incomplete, grades removed by repeat and audit grades and transfer credits have no effect on grade point average. Only those courses attempted at UW-Green Bay are included in a student’s grade point average. Transfer grades may be used to compute eligibility for admission to certain programs/majors.
Example of GPA for a Semester
| Course | Grade | Credits | Grade Points |
|---|---|---|---|
| SOC WORK 702 | A | 3 | 12 |
| MGMT 796 | BC | 4 | 10 |
| DS 700 | B | 4 | 12 |
| SOC WORK 704 | B | 3 | 09 |
| Total | 14 | 43 |
(An A is equal to 4 grade points, a B is equal to 3, and so forth. Three credits earning an A grade equals 12 points.)
43 divided by 14 equals 3.07 grade point average.
