Calculating a Grade Point Average
Academic average is determined by dividing the total number of quality points earned by the total number of credits taken, whether passed or failed. The following table is an illustration of this computation:
For example, each grade is assigned quality points. F=0, D=4, C=6, B=9, and A=12.
In addition, each grade is assigned a numberical value (aside form the qality points). F=0, D=1, C=2, B=3, A=4. If the institution has a plus system then (for example) B+=3.5, C+= 2.5 etc. Below is an example of one semesters GPA.
HIS 101. . . . 3 (credits) . . . . C(numerical value of 2) . . . . . . . .6 (quality points)
PSY 101 . . . 3 . . . . B(3) . . . . . . . .9
BIO 111 . . . 4 . . . . D(1) . . . . . . . .4
FRE 101 . . . 3 . . . . A(4) . . . . . . .12
ENG 101. . . 3 . . . B+(3.5) . . . .10.5
CIS 101. . . . 3 . . . . C (6) . . . . . . . 3
Total credits taken: 19
Total quality points earned 41.5
41.5 divided by 19 results is a 2.18 grade point average
The above was based on one semester. You can also calculate using the same procedure for the cumulative overall GPA.
To find your major GPA, you need to calculate the average of all the grades you have received in courses that are specifically required for your major. Exclude any general education or elective courses from this calculation.

Brown doesn't calculate GPA...
To calculate your GPA using the rounding GPA method, you assign each letter grade a numerical value (e.g., A4, B3, C2, D1) and then calculate the average of these values for all your courses. Round the average to the nearest whole number to determine your GPA.
For a better future, you should focus more on the cumulative GPA more than the Major GPA.
GPA=percentage/10 = 58.79/10 =5.879
Cumulative GPA is the Overall Graduate Average point in the entire stage of a specific major while the University or college divide them into semesters or years.This GPA is due to the result of ALL courses ( Major and non-Major). While, Major GPA is the Graduate Average point of the Major courses and the Major Elective one, while GER courses and GER Electives are excluded from that domain.

The major GPA includes only the grades earned in courses that are specifically required for a student's major or concentration. Elective courses or general education requirements typically do not count towards the major GPA calculation.
To calculate your cumulative GPA, you need to add up all your grade points from each semester and divide by the total number of credits. Multiply your semester GPA by the number of credits for that semester, then add up these values for all semesters. Divide this total by the total number of credits to get your cumulative GPA.
