GPA is Grade Point Average. Generally you get points per unit: 4 for an A, 3 for a B, 2 for a C, 1 for a D and none for an F. So if you get an A in a three unit class you get 12 points.
Then all points you have earned are added together and divided by the number of units you've earned and this is your Grade Point Average. So if you earned an A in one three unit class and a B in another three unit class, then your GPA is 3.5 which is 21/6 (12 points for the A plus 9 points for the B divided by 6).
Some schools make it even more complicated by changing the amount of points awarded for + and - grades. For example, the University that I attend gives 3.7 points for an A-.

G.P.A. stands for Grade Point Average. All of your accumulated grades from high school level are converted to points ranging from 0 to 4.0 the average is acquired by adding the points together and dividing them by the number of individual points presented.

Grade Point Average. The average of all your course work is calculated based on the hours credit for each course. It may be a weighted average depending on the courses you have taken.

somehow mine was a 4.0 and I don't know how they figure it, BUT, I noticed your answer about a higher power, and just wanted to say hi, my name is Joni and I'm a recovering alcholic addict. God Bless.
