School Software Pro offers the following two methods to calculate CGPA:
-
By GPA Average
-
By Credit Hours
By GPA Average
The formula used is:
By Credit Hours
The formula used is:
Example
Let’s assume that credit points are assigned as follows.
|
A = 4 A- = 3.7 |
B+ = 3.3 B = 3 B- = 2.7 |
C+ = 2.3 C = 2 C- = 1.7 |
D+ = 1.3 D = 1 D- = .7 |
F = 0 |
Calculation of Shaun’s GPA for Batch 1 will be as follows.
|
Subject (Batch Subjects) |
Credit Hours (Assigned to each subject) |
Grade (Secured by student for subject) |
Grade Points (Credit points × Credit hours) |
|
English |
3 |
A |
3 × 4 = 12 |
|
Arabic |

B |
1 × 3 = 3 |
|
Mathematics |

C |
3 × 2 = 6 |
|

3 |
F |
3 × 0 = 0 |
Total Credit Hours = 3 + 1 + 3 + 3 = 10
Total Grade Points = 12 + 3 + 6 + 0 = 21
Shaun’s GPA for Batch 1 = 21/10 = 2.10
Calculation of Shaun’s GPA for Batch 2 will be as follows.
|
Subject (Batch Subjects) |
Credit Hours (Assigned to each subject) |
Grade (Secured by student for subject) |
Grade Points (Credit points × Credit hours) |

Total Credit Hours = 3 + 1 + 3 + 3 = 10
Total Grade Points = 12 + 3 + 9 + 12 = 36
Shaun’s GPA for Batch 2 = 36/10 = 3.60
Calculating Shaun’s CGPA by GPA Average:
= (2.10 + 3.60)/2 = 2.85
Calculating Shaun’s CGPA by Credit Hours:
Where:
-
Grade Point is Credit Hours assigned to the Subject × Credit Points corresponding to the grade secured by the student
-
Total Grade Point is the Sum of (Grade Points of all subjects of batches under a course)
-
Total Credit Hours is the Sum of (Credit hours of all subjects of batches under a course)
Shaun’s CGPA = (21 + 36) / (10 + 10) = 2.85
