How Syracuse GPA Is Calculated
SU multiplies each grade's quality-point value by the course credit hours to get quality points, then divides total quality points by total graded credits.
📝 Worked Example
A sample using three courses:
| Course | Credit Hours | Grade | Grade Points | Quality Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| WRT 105 | 3.0 | A | 4.000 | 3 × 4.000 = 12.000 |
| MAT 295 | 4.0 | B+ | 3.333 | 4 × 3.333 = 13.332 |
| PSY 205 | 3.0 | C− | 1.667 | 3 × 1.667 = 5.001 |
| Total | 10.0 | — | — | 30.333 |
