GPA Entries

In this section, provide Grade Point Average (GPA) information for the colleges or universities you entered in the Colleges Attended section. GPAs are typically available on your transcripts or in your student information portal. 

You must complete the Colleges Attended section first before you can add GPAs. Be sure to add any GPAs that are available to you.

Adding a GPA

  1. Click Add GPA.
  2. Click Add A GPA. If you don't have one, click I don't have a GPA to add.
  3. Select the school level.
  4. Enter the total credit hours earned. Total credit hours are the total amount of hours earned for coursework completed on your official transcript.
  5. Enter your GPA (GPA information is usually located at the top or bottom section of your transcript). For studies completed at non-US institutions, ensure you enter your GPA using the grading scale reported on your transcript; don't convert it to a US 4.0 scale.
  6. Quality Points are automatically calculated for you by multiplying your GPA by your total credit hours.
  7. Click Save.
  8. If you attended this school twice (e.g., you completed both undergraduate and graduate coursework at the same college or university), click Add A GPA to add another GPA entry.
  9. Click Save and Exit.

If you update your Transcript Entry information, the GPA Entries page may be marked incomplete. If this happens, edit your GPA and resave your information. To do so:

  1. Click Edit.
  2. Click the blue pencil icon.
  3. Click Save.
  4. Click Save and Exit.

GPA Conversion

If your transcript doesn't report your grades in numeric grade values or your credits in semester hours, then you must convert your courses and recalculate your GPA. Review the following scenarios:

  • If your transcript GPA is in letter or percentage grade values, use the charts below to convert your GPA to a numeric grade value.
  • If your credits are in quarter hours, use the GPA Calculator worksheet to quickly create a new GPA calculation.
  • If your transcript changes how it reports grade or credit values, refer to the Calculating Your EngineeringCAS GPAs and EngineeringCAS Grade Values Chart pages for how to report and recalculate GPAs. You can also use the GPA Calculator worksheet to quickly create a new GPA calculation.
