GPA
(GRADE POINT
AVERAGE)
 The number of credits and the levels
contribute to the weight of a grade
 Grades with Plus(+) or Minus(-) signs have
different numeric values
 Course failures indicated by NC are treated
as a loss of credit and are calculated in the
GPA as 0.00
 If a student retakes and passes a previously
failed course during the school year; both
classes are reported on the transcript and
both grades are computed in the GPA.
 Summer school grades are NOT calculated
into the weighted GPA
 Two grade point averages are calculated for
each student: a weighted GPA and an
unweighted GPA
 Many colleges have their own system of
calculating GPA
 See your CHS Student/Parent Handbook for
GPA System details
