How is grade point average (GPA) calculated at WMU?
A student's academic average is computed by dividing the total number of honors points* by total number of credit hours of work attempted.. For example, a student with a total of 32 honors points who enrolled in 16 credits has a cumulative grade point average of 2.0.
*Honors points are determined by multiplying the credit value (1,2, 3, or 4) of the course times the grade value (i.e., A=4, B=3, C=2, etc.). For example, a 3 credit course with a grade of B (3) earns 9 honors points.
Please see catalog for more information
Credit /no credit courses, while counting toward a degree, are not used to calculate the overall grade point average.
