How to Calculate your QPA
Quality Point Average
Quality Point Average (QPA) indicates the student's level of achievement. It is the average number of quality points earned per credit hour.
The QPA is calculated by multiplying the number of credit hours assigned to each course by the quality points earned in the course and then dividing the total number of quality points by the total number of credit hours. "CR" grade credit and "P" grade credit are not included in calculating the QPA.
