Computing the Grade Point Index (GPA)

The following is the method by which a student’s GPA is calculated:

  1. Multiply the quality points equal to the grade by the number of credits for which the grade was earned

    A = 4.00 quality points x 3 credits = 12.00 points];

  2. Add the total quality points earned in a semester;
  3. Divide by the total number of credits for a semester.

The total quality points, divided by the total credits equals the GPA for the semester. To compute a cumulative grade point average, include all MMC courses taken to date and divide by the total number of credits for which grades other than W, P, NC, N, NA, Y, AUD or Z have been earned or assigned.
