How to Calculate Carryover GPA

Most students don’t really understand how carry-over is calculated and how it affects their GPA, that’s the motive behind writing this post. You cant really understand how carry-over is calculated without knowing how GPA is calculated, so am going to explain how GPA is calculated then relate it to how carry over is calculated as simply as I can. Basics First some basics GPA stands for Grade Point Average TCP stands for Total Credit Point TNU stands for Total Number of Unit GPA Explanation GPA is given by TCP divided by TNU GPA = TCP / TNU TNU Explanation Lets assume a student (Mr.Adam) registered 2 courses GSE 111 : 3 Units GSE 112 : 2 Units Right now Mr.Adam’s TNU = 5 So he just needs TCP to determine his GPA TCP Explanation Every grade has a value attached, for fupre A = 5 B = 4 C = 3 D = 4 F = 0 The grade Mr. Adam gets for each course will determine his CP for that course, CP is
