Formula and weighting
GPA = ฮฃ(grade points ร credits) / ฮฃ(credits)

What's the standard college GPA scale?
Most institutions use a 4.0 scale, where letter grades map to grade points such as A = 4.0, B = 3.0, and F = 0.0.
How are credit hours weighted?
Each grade is multiplied by its credit hours, then the total grade points are divided by the total credits to calculate GPA.
