Understanding the UNG Grading System
At the University of North Georgia, your GPA is calculated on a 4.0 scale. Each letter grade corresponds to a specific number of quality points. These points are used to determine your GPA.
- A: 4.0 quality points per credit hour
- B: 3.0 quality points per credit hour
- C: 2.0 quality points per credit hour
- D: 1.0 quality point per credit hour
- F: 0.0 quality points per credit hour
- WF (Withdraw Failing): 0.0 quality points (counts as an F in GPA calculation)
Note: Grades such as W (Withdraw), S (Satisfactory), U (Unsatisfactory), I (Incomplete), and V (Audit) are not included in the GPA calculation.
How is GPA Calculated at UNG?
The formula for calculating GPA is straightforward:
GPA = Total Quality Points / Total GPA Hours
To find your total quality points, you first calculate the quality points for each individual course:
Course Quality Points = Credit Hours × Grade Value
You then sum the quality points and credit hours from all your courses to use in the main GPA formula.
Example GPA Calculation
Let's say a student completes the following courses in a semester:
| Course | Credit Hours | Grade | Grade Value | Quality Points (Hours * Value) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ENGL 1101 | 3 | A | 4.0 | 12.0 |
| MATH 1111 | 3 | B | 3.0 | 9.0 |
| HIST 2111 | 3 | B | 3.0 | 9.0 |
| BIOL 1107K | 4 | C | 2.0 | 8.0 |
| Totals | 13 | 38.0 |
Using the totals from the table:
- Total GPA Hours: 13
- Total Quality Points: 38.0
Semester GPA = 38.0 / 13 = 2.923
