Calculating Your Grade Point Average (GPA)
In order to graduate from ASU and the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering, you must earn a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.00 on a 4.00 scale. Individual units may have additional GPA requirements for graduation. Use the following values to calculate your grade point average:
A+ = 4.333 | A = 4.000 | A- = 3.667 |
B+ = 3.333 | B = 3.000 | B- = 2.667 |
C+ = 2.333 | C = 2.000 |
|
| D = 1.000 |
|
| E = 0.000 |
|
NOTE: Grades of X, W and Y are not used to calculate honor points. | ||
Multiply the credit hours for each course by the grade points corresponding with your letter grade to produce honor points for each class. Divide the total number of honor points by the total number of credit hours graded.
