The computation of a student’s CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average) is dependent on his/her semester GPAs (Grade Point Average) and credit loads. For example, a freshmen student may have the following result in the first semester –
| Courses | Grade | Credit | Points |
|---|---|---|---|
| Introduction to Business | A+ | 3 | 4.00 x 3 = 12.00 |
| English Reading Skills & Public Speaking | A- | 3 | 3.50 x 3 = 10.50 |
| Business Mathematics - 1 | A | 3 | 3.75 x 3 = 11.25 |
| Financial Accounting | A+ | 3 | 4.00 x 3 = 12.00 |
| Computer Fundamentals | A | 3 | 3.75 x 3 = 11.25 |
| Total | 15 | 57.00 |
Therefore the GPA in the first semester of the student (57.00/15) = 3.80
Now in the following semester, if the student earns the result below –
| Courses | Grade | Credit | Points |
|---|---|---|---|
| Principles of Management | A | 3 | 3.75 x 3 = 11.25 |
| Micro Economics | B+ | 3 | 3.25 x 3 = 9.75 |
| English Writing Skills & Communication | A+ | 3 | 4.00 x 3 = 12.00 |
| Business Mathematics - 2 | A- | 3 | 3.50 x 3 = 10.50 |
| Basics in Social Science | C | 3 | 2.25 x 3 = 6.75 |
| Total | 15 | 50.25 |
Therefore, the GPA in the second semester of the student (50.25/15) = 3.35
So, now, the student will have earned a calculated CGPA of (57 + 54) / (15 + 15) = 3.70 at the end of the second semester. For the consecutive semesters, the CGPA will be calculated accordingly, following the same system.
