(Another) Western Gpa Question!


Recommended Posts

For the GPA calculation, does Western look at the course as a whole, regardless of it being 6 credit hours (2 semester) or 3 credit hours (1 semester)?

 

Example:

 

A+ (6 credit hours) = 95%

 

Is the above example considered 95% once or twice (since it's equivalent to 2x 1 semester courses)? I assume it's considered once, but figured I'd ask anyways. Thanks in advance!

Every GPA calculation I have seen takes into account the credit weight, I would imagine 95% on a 6-credit course is the equivalent of 95% on two 3-credit courses. This is only an assumption though.

 

 

This is correct

Yeah, that makes sense. For my own school's GPA calculation, and other schools that utilize the 4.x GPA scale, that'd be the case. I wasn't quite sure about Western and other schools that utilize percentages so I was curious. Thanks to both of you for the clarification! :)
