What's up guys? I'm curious about how to calculate my GPA for Southern Utah University (SUU) admissions. Is there a specific calculator I should use or do they have their own method of calculating it? Thanks in advance for the help!
Hey there! To calculate your GPA for Southern Utah University (SUU) admissions, you'll first need to know your grades and the weight associated with each class (if applicable). Here's a step-by-step method to help you calculate your GPA:
1. Convert each of your final letter grades to their respective GPA equivalents. Generally, the conversion is as follows: A = 4.0, B = 3.0, C = 2.0, D = 1.0, F = 0.0. You can find SUU's Grade Point Average Scale on their website to verify this.
2. If any of your classes are weighted (like honors or AP), you'll need to adjust the numerical values for those class grades. In general, an additional 0.5 is added to honors classes and a full 1.0 is added for AP classes. For example, an A in an honors class would be worth 4.5, and in an AP class, it would be worth 5.0. Confirm with your high school counselor if your high school assigns weight to such classes, and how much weight is given.
3. Multiply each converted final grade by the number of credit hours the class is worth. This will give you the quality points for each class.
4. Add up all the quality points for all classes.
5. Divide the total quality points by the total number of credit hours to find your GPA.
You can also use a free online GPA calculator to simplify the process. Note that each high school may have slightly different conversion scales and weighting systems, so it's important to reach out to your high school counselor if you have any specific questions about your school's system.
