GPA is calculated by dividing the total amount of grade points earned by the total number of credit hours attempted. Each course is assigned a specific number of credit hours, and grades are assigned a point value (e.g., A=4, B=3, C=2, D=1, F=0). The formula for GPA calculation is: GPA = (Total Grade Points) / (Total Credit Hours) For example, if a student earns an A (4.0) in a 3-credit course and a B (3.0) in a 4-credit course, the GPA calculation would be: GPA = [(4.0 * 3) + (3.0 * 4)] / (3 + 4) = (12 + 12) / 7 = 24 / 7 = 3.43
