Calculating Grade Point Average (GPA)
GPA is calculated with 16 approved core courses.
- Add quality points for your courses (see chart below).
- Divide your quality point total by the number of courses completed (16). If CHV2O is included, count it as a 0.5 course.
Individual schools may have their own particular SAT or ACT minimums or required courses.
This method can only be used as an estimate and cannot be considered official.

| 70-79 | B | 3.0 |
| 60-69 | C | 2.0 |
