Calculating Your GPA Academic Standing Any time a student's cumulative grade point average (GPA) falls below 2.0, the student will be placed on academic probation and enrollment will be limited to a maximum of 12 hours per semester. The student will remain on academic probation and must earn a semester GPA of 2.0 in each subsequent semester until the cumulative GPA is at least 2.0. A student on probation who earns a semester GPA of less than 2.0 will be subject to suspension. Probationary students must meet with an advisor each semester prior to registration. In addition, schedule changes must be approved by the advisor. How to Calculate Semester GPA List all courses and their letter grade. Do not include developmental or lab courses that do not impact your GPA. These courses will have "0" as the first number of the course (i.e., MA095, EN099). Convert all letter grades into numerical grades using the four-point scale: A = 4 B = 3 C = 2 D = 1 F = 0 Multiply course grade by credit hours per course. Total grade points for all credit courses. Total all credit hours for the semester. Divide total grade points by total credit hours. This is your semester GPA. Overall GPA can be determined by dividing total grade points for all courses taken by total of all credit hours completed.
