<p>semester units * 1.5 = quarter
all my semester classes were 3 units at SJSU -> 4.5 quarter units
all my quarter classes are 4 units at De Anza (cept math/science)</p>
<p>i recalculated my cum gpa with this new unit thing (i originally calculated it on an even unit basis [besides math/sci]) and it went from a 3.52 to a 3.44 :|</p>
<p>is this right?</p>
<p>i believe so</p>
<p>yup thats how you're supposed to calculate it.</p>
<p>damn that sucks for me lol</p>
<p>Are you serious? I have been caculating my GPA using semester units...</p>
<p>Hrm.. i just converted my calculations to quarter units, and it came out the same... That is weird that your changes. If you think about it, it should be the same. x/y=a/b then ur answer should be the same... no?</p>
<p>kmizzle's units are different because some of his units are semester and some are quarter whereas your units are all semester units.</p>
<p>I just used Georgia</a> State University - Enrollment Services to recalculate my gpa in quarter units and came back with a 3.52 :O
used 4.5 for semester courses(sjsu), 4 for quarter and one 5 for math(de anza)
im confused now lol</p>
<p>You use it to recalculate the amount of units you have, not your gpa. You gpa remains 3.52.</p>
<p>it'll affect your gpa because the grade points are weighted differently when comparing an A in a 3 unit semester unit class and a 3 unit quarter unit class.</p>
<p>It should be the same if you calculate it correctly. Remember to use different weight for quarter and semester though.</p>
