Illinois Tech multiplies each grade's quality-point value by credit hours to get quality points, then divides total quality points by total graded credit hours.

Illinois Tech GPA Formula
\[ \text{GPA} = \frac{\displaystyle\sum \text{Quality Points}}{\displaystyle\sum \text{Graded Credit Hours}} = \frac{\displaystyle\sum (\text{Quality Point} \times \text{Credit Hours})}{\displaystyle\sum \text{Credit Hours}} \]
Quality PointsQuality-point value × credit hours for each course
Graded Credit HoursTotal graded hours (excludes W, I, X, P, WP, R, S, U)
