Calculating your GPA Grades are assigned point values: A = 4 points B = 3 points C= 2 points NC= 0 points *”I” grades are temporary and are not factored into the GPA . • Overall GPA (non-weighted): Add all semester grades on your transcript together. Divide the total by the number of semester courses. • Weighted GPA: Same as overall GPA but add 1 extra point for each semester AP course or transferable college course to the total before dividing by the number of semester courses (individual private universities may calculate weighted GPA differently). • UC/CSU GPA: Use only grades received in “a-g” classes from 10th and 11th grade. Add an extra point for each semester AP course or transferable college course (http://www.assist.org) with a maximum of 8 extra points.
