How UNL GPA Is Calculated
UNL multiplies each grade point by credit hours to get grade points earned, then divides total grade points by total graded credit hours.
📝 Worked Example
An example using three courses on UNL's 4.0 scale:
| Course | Credit Hours | Grade | Grade Point | Grade Points Earned |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ENGL 101 | 3.0 | A | 4.00 | 3 × 4.00 = 12.00 |
| MATH 103 | 3.0 | B− | 2.67 | 3 × 2.67 = 8.01 |
| HIST 100 | 3.0 | C+ | 2.33 | 3 × 2.33 = 6.99 |
| Total | 9.0 | — | — | 27.00 |
Plugging into the formula:
Note: UNL truncates GPAs to the thousandth decimal place rather than rounding.
