Hey y'all! I'm applying to Utah Valley University (UVU) and I need to calculate my GPA according to their requirements. Is there a specific UVU GPA calculator or a general one that I can use to find out my GPA as per their standards? Thanks in advance!
Hey there! There isn't a specific UVU GPA calculator, but you can use a general GPA calculator to find out your GPA according to UVU's standards. When using a GPA calculator, keep in mind that UVU uses a 4.0 scale for GPA calculations.
Here's a simple method you can follow:
1. Convert each of your letter grades to the corresponding grade points: A=4.0, A-=3.7, B+=3.3, B=3.0, B-=2.7, C+=2.3, C=2.0, C-=1.7, D+=1.3, D=1.0, and D-=0.7. You can disregard F grades in GPA calculations.
2. Multiply the grade points by the credit hours of the respective course.
3. Divide the sum of all your grade point and credit hour products by the total number of credit hours.
If you prefer to use an online tool, you can search for a "4.0 GPA calculator" or use the CollegeVine GPA calculator: https://blog.collegevine.com/high-school-gpa-calculator/
Before entering your grades and credit hours in the online calculator, make sure you understand how UVU considers weighted and unweighted GPAs, as some schools might give extra weight to AP, IB, or Honors courses. If UVU takes weighted GPAs into consideration, you'll need to account for that in your calculations.
Good luck with your application to Utah Valley University!
