How does Barstow Community College calculate my grade point average (GPA)?
The grade point average is calculated by assigning a value to letter grades A – F (A = 4, B = 3, C = 2, D = 1 and F = 0). Units are multiplied by the value of the letter grade to obtain a grade point for each course. To calculate the overall grade point average you will need to divide total grade points by total units attempted. There are two types of grade point averages. There is a term GPA, which is for an individual term. There is also a cumulative GPA, which is for all terms at Barstow. The grade point average is used as a level for academic achievement, good standing, probation, disqualification, dismissal, eligibility for graduation and transfer to another college or university.
