How do I calculate my GPA on the Professional Nursing Application?

Total number of quality/grade points ÷ Total number of credits taken = GPA 

For this example let’s say you received a “B” for Math at 3 credits, “A” for ANAT 211 at 4 credits, “B” for ANAT 212 at 4 credits, and “C” for MMBS 111 at 4 credits. 

Here is how the math works for this example:

MATH – 3 x 3 = 9 quality points

ANAT 211 – 4 x 4 = 16 quality points

ANAT 212 – 4 x 3 = 12 quality points

MMBS 111 – 4 x 2 = 6.66 quality points

To get total number of grade points, add 9+16+12+8 (45) and divide by total number of credits 3+4+4+4 (15)

45 quality points ÷ 15 credits = 3.0 GPA

Step 3 asks you to multiply your GPA for the four courses by two, giving you 6 points for this step on the AS Professional Nursing Application.
