The numerical value of a college letter grade. A=4, B=3, C=2, D=1, F=0, times the number of units of the course: An A in a 5 unit course equals 20 points.
Quality points assigned for one term credit of each grade: A = 4.0; A- = 3.7; B+ = 3.3; B = 3; B- = 2.7; C+ = 2.3; C = 2.0; C- = 1.7; D+ = 1.3; D = 1; D- = .7; F = 0.0. Grades of I, P, N, S, U and W are not computed.
Numerical values given to grades. On a four point scale, colleges, universities, and high schools typically award four grade points for an A; three points for a B; two points for a C; one point for a D; and zero points for an F.
four points for each credit hour of A, three for each hour of B, two for each hour of C, one for each hour of D, zero for each hour of F.
A weighted value assigned to the grade a student receives in a course, obtained by multiplying the grade by the units of course weight. Used in computing grade point averages.
A numerical value assigned to each grade for the purpose of computing grade point average (GPA).
A numerical representation of the value of a letter grade for a course (A=4, B=3, C=2, D=l, F=O) multiplied by the semester hours awarded for a course. Examples: a grade of "A" for a 1 semester hour Physical Education course is worth 4 grade points; an "B" in a 3 semester hour English course is worth 9 grade points.
The number of points attributed to a grade (A=4, B=3, etc.) times the number of credit hours in the course.
Number grade earned in a class multiplied by the number of credits the class is worth. For example, a grade of a 3.0 in a 5 credit class earns 15 grade points.
Also referred to as "quality points." The numerical value of a grade multiplied by the credit hours for a course. (A=4 pts.; B+=3.5; B=3 pts; C+=2.5; C=2 pts.; D+=1.5 pts; D=1 pt.) For example, a student earning an A (4 points/credit) in a three-credit course will earn 12 grade points.
The numerical value of a grade (such as 3.8 or 2.5) multiplied by the number of credit hours earned in a course. For example, a student who earns a 3.3 (or B+) in a five-credit course earns 16.5 grade points for that course.
Numerical point values (A=4.0, B=3.0, etc.) that are multiplied by the number of course units to determine grade points earned. For example, a three-unit class in which an A is earned carries 12 grade points.
(see cumulative grade point average). Points per semester hour assigned to a passing grade, indicating numerical value of the grade.
Points per semester hour assigned to a grade (not a mark), indicating numerical value of the grade. The grade-point average indicates overall performance and is computed by dividing the total number of grade points earned by the number of semester hours attempted.
a numerical value assigned to each unit of a letter grade. For example: A=4, B=3, C=2, D=1 and F=0. Multiply the units of a course by its letter grade’s numerical value to get grade points. If you get a ‘B’ grade in a 3 unit course, you have 9 grade points.
The number obtained by multiplying the numerical value of the grade you receive for a course by the number of credit hours earned in that course. For example, if you earn a 3.3 grade in a 5–credit course you earn 16.5 grade points for that course.
