How weighted grade points work
A GPA is typically a credit-weighted average of grade points. A course with more credits contributes more to the average than a course with fewer credits. Institutions may use different grade scales.
Check your grading system
Confirm whether your program uses a 4.0, 4.3, 5.0 or another scale and whether repeated courses or pass/fail courses count.
