NCAT GPA Calculator
Understanding the NCAT Grading System
At North Carolina A&T State University, maintaining a strong Grade Point Average (GPA) is essential for academic honors, financial aid eligibility, and graduation requirements. The university uses a 4.0 grading scale to measure academic performance.
| Letter Grade | Quality Points | Interpretation |
|---|---|---|
| A | 4.0 | Excellent |
| B | 3.0 | Very Good |
| C | 2.0 | Satisfactory |
| D | 1.0 | Poor |
| F | 0.0 | Failure |
How is the NCAT GPA Calculated?
Your GPA is calculated by dividing the total number of Quality Points earned by the total number of Credit Hours attempted. Quality points for a specific course are determined by multiplying the points associated with the letter grade by the number of credit hours for that course.
Example Calculation:
If you take a 3-credit Biology course and receive an 'A' (4.0 points):
3 credits × 4.0 points = 12.0 Quality Points.
Cumulative vs. Semester GPA
The Semester GPA reflects your performance during a single term. The Cumulative GPA reflects your total performance across all semesters at NCAT. To find your cumulative GPA using this calculator, ensure you enter your current standing (Total Credits and Current GPA) from your latest transcript in the Aggie Hub.
Academic Standing at NCAT
