FAQS

To figure out your GPA for a given quarter:

• Take your letter grade and determine how many points it is worth.

• Example: If you have an A then it's a 4.0, B is a 3.0, C is a 2.0. The chart for the conversion is in your Rasmussen Catalog, usually in the Academic Policies section towards the end. It should look like this:

• 4.0 = A

  3.75 = A-

  3.50 = B+

  3.00 = B

  2.75 = B-

  2.50 = C+

  2.0 = C

  1.75 = C-

  1.50 = D+

  1.00 = D

  .75 = D-

• Once you have your points figured out, you need to figure out what to multiply them by (aka the number of credits the course was worth).

• Example: Let's say you have three classes:
  • The first class was worth 4 credits and you got an A
    • 4 credits x 4 points (for the A) = 16
  • The second class was worth 3 credits and you got a B
    • 3 credits x 3 points (for the B) = 9
  • The third class was worth 4 credits and you got an A
    • 4 credits x 4 points (for the A) = 16

• Now figure out the average.
  • Add your calculated points up.
    • 16 + 9 + 16 = 41
  • Add your total number of credits up.
    • 4 + 3 + 4 = 11
  • Divide your total points by the number of credits attempted.
    • 41 / 11 = 3.72
  • You have your gpa for the quarter!
    • 3.72
