Hello! I'll be a junior and have been thinking about college more and more every day. I go to Tarrant County College (TCC), and I'm having trouble figuring out my GPA. Are there any reliable GPA calculators or ways to calculate my GPA specifically for TCC?
Hello! It's important to know and keep track of your GPA as you advance in your education. At Tarrant County College (TCC), they use a 4.0 scale for calculating your GPA. Here's a simple method to calculate your GPA based on this scale:
1. Convert each course grade into grade points. Here's the conversion for TCC:
- A (90-100) = 4.0
- B (80-89) = 3.0
- C (70-79) = 2.0
- D (60-69) = 1.0
- F (59 or below) = 0.0
2. Multiply the grade points for each course by the number of credit hours the course is worth. This will give you the quality points for each course.
3. Add up the total quality points and the total credit hours.
4. Divide the total quality points by the total credit hours. The result is your GPA.
For example, if you took the following courses:
- Math (3 credit hours) with a grade of B
- English (3 credit hours) with a grade of A
- History (3 credit hours) with a grade of C
First, convert the grades to grade points:
- Math: B = 3.0
- English: A = 4.0
- History: C = 2.0
Next, multiply the grade points by the course credit hours:
- Math: 3.0 (grade points) x 3 (credit hours) = 9 (quality points)
- English: 4.0 x 3 = 12
- History: 2.0 x 3 = 6
Now, add up the total quality points and credit hours:
- Total quality points: 9 + 12 + 6 = 27
- Total credit hours: 3 + 3 + 3 = 9
Finally, divide the total quality points by the total credit hours:
- 27 (quality points) / 9 (credit hours) = 3.0 (GPA)
So, your GPA in this example would be 3.0. You can apply this method to all of your courses to calculate your cumulative GPA at TCC. Best of luck with your studies!
