How to Calculate Your Southeastern GPA
At Southeastern Louisiana University, your Grade Point Average (GPA) is a critical metric for maintaining academic standing, qualifying for scholarships like TOPS, and graduation eligibility. The calculation is based on the 4.0 grading scale.
The Southeastern Grading Scale:
- A: 4 Quality Points
- B: 3 Quality Points
- C: 2 Quality Points
- D: 1 Quality Point
- F: 0 Quality Points
Step-by-Step Calculation Formula
To calculate your GPA manually, follow these steps:
- Multiply the number of credit hours for each course by the point value of the grade earned. This gives you the Quality Points for that course.
- Add all the quality points from your courses together.
- Add the total number of credit hours attempted (only those that receive a standard letter grade).
- Divide the Total Quality Points by the Total Credit Hours.
Calculation Example
Suppose a student completes the following courses in one semester:
- Biology (3 credits): Grade A (3 x 4 = 12 points)
- History (3 credits): Grade B (3 x 3 = 9 points)
- Kinesiology (1 credit): Grade A (1 x 4 = 4 points)
Total Quality Points: 12 + 9 + 4 = 25 points
Total Credit Hours: 3 + 3 + 1 = 7 hours
Semester GPA: 25 / 7 = 3.57
Important Considerations for Southeastern Students
Note that "W" (Withdrawal), "P" (Pass), and "U" grades do not typically impact your GPA calculation as they do not carry quality points. However, failing grades (F) are included in the calculation and can significantly lower your cumulative average. If you are retaking a course, Southeastern's policy on "Repeat/Delete" may apply—be sure to check with your academic advisor regarding how repeated courses affect your official transcript.
