Calculating GPA
The Grade Point Average (GPA) is given on a scale from 0.00 to 4.00. Semester GPA is calculated each semester and is shown to students on the Self Service Banner (SSB) Online Transcript as Term GPA (one semester) and Cumulative GPA (all semesters at specified level).
| Term (Semester) TGPA = | Total of Semester Grade Points (sum of all GPV x sum of all Course Credits attempted) |
|
Total of all Course Credits for the Semester |
| Cumulative CGPA = | Total of all Grade Points (sum of all GPV x sum of all Course Credits) |
|
Total of All Course Credits of all Semesters |
Example for a student enrolled in Bachelor of International Logistics Management (IL701)
| Course | Course Credits | Grade | GPV | Grade Points (GPV x Course Credits) |
| TLB6000 | 15 | B- | 2.75 | 41.25 |
| TLB6200 | 15 | B | 3 | 45 |
| ELB5501 | 15 | C | 2.25 | 33.75 |
| BSD5106 | 15 | F | 0 | 0 |
| Total | 60 | 120 |
Semester GPA is 2 = 120 /60 (Grade Points/ Course Credits)
