• Results for the first semester:
Grade Point Credits
MKEE 1103 A 4.0 3
MKEE 1203 A- 3.7 3
MKEE 1303 B- 2.7 3
• CPA = GPA = Grade Point Average = 3(4) + 3(3.7) + 3(2.7)
9
GPA = 3.46

CUMMULATIVE POINT AVERAGE (CPA)
How to calculate ?
• Example of calculation:
Students taking 3 courses (equivalent to 9 credits in total in 1st Semester and 9 credits in total in 2nd
Semester)

Semester 1 Grade/Point/Credits Semester 2 Grade/Point /Credits

MKEE 1103 A/4/3 MKEE 1403 B-/2.7/3

MKEE 1203 A-/3.7/3 MKEE 1503 C/2/3
MKEE 1303 B-/2.7/3 MKEE 1603 B/3/3

GPA = Grade Point = 3(2.7) + 3(2) + 3(3) = 2.57
