The Math

How Temple GPA Is Calculated

Temple multiplies each grade point by credit hours to get quality points, then divides total quality points by total GPA hours.

Temple GPA Formula
\[ \text{GPA} = \frac{\displaystyle\sum \text{Quality Points}}{\displaystyle\sum \text{GPA Hours}} = \frac{\displaystyle\sum (\text{Grade Point} \times \text{Credit Hours})}{\displaystyle\sum \text{Credit Hours}} \]
Quality PointsGrade point value × credit hours for each course
GPA HoursTotal graded credit hours (excludes CR, NC, P, W, etc.)
