Calculating Grade Point Average (GPA)


GPA is calculated with 16 approved core courses.
  1. Add quality points for your courses (see chart below).
  2. 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.

Mark Range Letter Grade Quality Points
80-100 A 4.0
70-79 B 3.0
60-69 C 2.0
50-59 D 1.0
