The Math

How K-State GPA Is Calculated

K-State multiplies each grade point by credit hours to get grade points earned, then divides total grade points by total graded hours attempted.

K-State GPA Formula
\[ \text{GPA} = \frac{\displaystyle\sum \text{Grade Points}}{\displaystyle\sum \text{Graded Hours}} = \frac{\displaystyle\sum (\text{Grade Point} \times \text{Credit Hours})}{\displaystyle\sum \text{Credit Hours}} \]
Grade PointsGrade point value × credit hours for each course
Graded HoursTotal hours attempted and graded A–F (excludes CR, P, W, AU, I, etc.)

📝 Worked Example

A K-State example using three courses:

CourseCredit HoursGradeGrade PointGrade Points Earned
ENGL 1003.0A4.003 × 4.00 = 12.00
MATH 2204.0B3.004 × 3.00 = 12.00
CHM 2103.0C2.003 × 2.00 = 6.00
Total10.030.00

Plugging into the formula:

\[ \text{GPA} = \frac{30.00}{10.0} = \mathbf{3.00} \]
Tool 2

K-State GPA to Percentage Converter

Convert your 4.0-scale K-State GPA to an equivalent percentage instantly.

Convert GPA → Percentage

Enter any K-State GPA between 0.0 and 4.0.

The Conversion Formula

K-State uses a 4.0 scale, so:

\[ \text{Percentage} = \text{GPA} \times 25 \quad \text{or equivalently} \quad \text{Percentage} = \left(\frac{\text{GPA}}{4.0}\right) \times 100 \]

Example: If your GPA is 3.5, then Percentage = 3.5 × 25 = 87.50%.
