This tool helps you quickly and accurately calculate your Quality Point Average (QPA) based on your course grades and credit hours.
How to Use the QPA Calculator
To use the QPA (Quality Point Average) calculator, follow the steps below:
- Enter the number of courses you are taking.
- For each course, input the grade received (in the range 0-100) and the number of credit hours.
- Click the “Calculate” button to see your QPA.
How it Calculates Results
The QPA calculator works by performing the following steps:
- Converting each grade into its equivalent quality points (e.g., A = 4.0, B = 3.0, etc.).
- Multiplying the quality points by the number of credit hours for each course.
- Summing up these values to get the total quality points and the total credit hours.
- Dividing the total quality points by the total credit hours to get the QPA.
Limitations
This QPA calculator assumes standard grade-to-quality point conversions (e.g., A = 4.0, B = 3.0, etc.). If your institution uses a different scale, this calculator may not provide accurate results.
