<p>Now I am assuming that NYU is held on the typical scale:</p>
<p>A = 4.0
A- = 3.7
B+ = 3.3
B = 3.0</p>
<p>and so on.</p>
<p>Now how does this correlate with the credits one has?</p>
<p>For example, lets say I got an "A" in a Natural Science course (4 credits), then I took Acting I (2 credits) and got an "A" there as well.</p>
<p>How is this calculated? Do the weights of the courses differ, depending on the credits worth of the subject?</p>
<p>Multiply the credits of the course with the grade on a 4 point scale. So in your example 2<em>4 + 4</em>4 = 24. Having taken 6 credits, your 4 credit course holds 66% weight.</p>
<p>If you got a B in Nat Sci or a 3, then 4<em>3 + 2</em>4 = 20.
Divide that by the 6 credits taken, 3.33 is your overall GPA.</p>
<p>Yes, the course weights differ by credits. Let’s say you got this:</p>
<p>A (4.0) for a 4 credit course<br>
A (4.0) for a 2 credit course<br>
B (3.0) for a 4 credit course<br>
B+ (3.3) for a 4 credit course </p>
<p>Then you multiply each grade by Credits:
4.0 x 4 = 16
4.0 x 2 = 8
3.0 x 4 = 12
3.3 x 4 = 13.2</p>
<p>Then you add 16 + 8 + 12 + 13.2 = 49.2. You divide this by total number of credits (14) to get your final GPA = 3.51. </p>
<p>Your GPA for each semester and cumulative GPA for college are automatically calculated on Albert (in Unofficial Transcript) each semester.</p>
