How your Virginia Tech GPA is calculated

GPA = total quality points ÷ total graded credit hours, where quality points for a course = grade points × credit hours. For a new cumulative GPA: (current GPA × hours so far + this term’s quality points) ÷ (hours so far + this term’s graded hours).

Repeated courses

The 2026-2027 catalog says: "All courses repeated count in the calculation of the grade point average unless changed to Pass/Fail per policy."

Worked example

Course	Grade	Credits	Quality points
Course 1	A	3	4 × 3 = 12
Course 2	B-	4	2.7 × 4 = 10.8
Course 3	C	3	2 × 3 = 6
Course 4	A-	3	3.7 × 3 = 11.1

Total: 39.9 quality points ÷ 13 hours = 3.069 semester GPA. If the student already had a 3.20 GPA over 45 hours, the new cumulative GPA would be (144 + 39.9) ÷ (45 + 13) = 3.171.
