Hours Earned = All course work taken
  • These hours include transfer work, courses taken Pass/Fail, and any courses numbered below 100 level taken at U of L prior to '98 Fall**(see note).
Hours Attempted with Grade (HAW) = Any class taken at U of L that was awarded a letter grade.
  • Pass/Fail classes are not included in HAW. Only course in which a student earned grades of A, B, C, D, and F count in determining the number of hours attempted.
Quality Points (Qt. Pts.) = Points that are awarded for each letter grade 1
A+ = 4.0 C = 2.0
A  = 4.0 C- = 1.7
A- = 3.7 D+ = 1.3
B+ = 3.3 D = 1.0
B = 3.0 D- = 0.7
B-  = 2.7 F =0.0
C+ = 2.3    

 

To Calculate Total Qt. Pts. Earned for a Class = Multiply the HAW by Quality Points (Qt. Pts.) per credit hour earned.
To Calculate GPA = Divide Total Quality Points earned by hours attempted with grade:

GPA =  (Quality Points) divided by (HAW)

You can calculate your U of L cumulative GPA or semester GPA.

(Quality Points = 38.2 ) / ( 13 HAW) = 2.93 GPA
