The Math

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.

Syracuse GPA Formula
\[ \text{GPA} = \frac{\displaystyle\sum \text{Quality Points}}{\displaystyle\sum \text{Graded Credit Hours}} = \frac{\displaystyle\sum (\text{Grade Points} \times \text{Credit Hours})}{\displaystyle\sum \text{Credit Hours}} \]
Quality PointsGrade-point value × credit hours for each course
Graded Credit HoursTotal letter-graded credits (excludes P, AU, WD, NA, etc.)

📝 Worked Example

A sample using three courses:

CourseCredit HoursGradeGrade PointsQuality Points
WRT 1053.0A4.0003 × 4.000 = 12.000
MAT 2954.0B+3.3334 × 3.333 = 13.332
PSY 2053.0C−1.6673 × 1.667 = 5.001
Total10.030.333

Plugging into the formula:

\[ \text{GPA} = \frac{30.333}{10.0} \approx \mathbf{3.03} \]

The Conversion Formula

Syracuse 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%.
