How to calculate GPA from two different schools?

Transfer Students
1

<p>The first school I went to followed the traditional semester calendar, while the second school followed a quarterly calendar. Not sure if that should be taken into account when you calculate a GPA, though. Do I just take the average of the two?</p>

<p>If you've spent half of your college career at one and the other half at the other, I think you just average the two overall GPAs.</p>

3

<p>What if I've spent an unequal amount of my college career at each school?</p>

<p>I think you calculate by units....</p>

<p>1 quarter unit = 2/3 semester unit
(i.e. 4 quarter unit = 2.7 semester units)</p>

<p>Sum the product of the grade equivalent (A=4, A-=3.67....) by # of units (convert all to either quarter or semester). Divide by the total # of units taken to find GPA.</p>

<p>I dont know if this helps.. but this is a simple break down for semester folks.</p>

<p>A grades are worth 4 points
B grades are worth 3 points
C grades are worth 2 points</p>

<p>Econ 1--> 3 units x A = 12
Econ 3--> 3 units x B = 9
Calc I --> 4 units x B = 12
Calc II--> 4 Units x A = 16</p>

<p>Total Units: 14<br>
Total Points 49</p>

<p>Points/Units = GPA
49/14= 3.5</p>
