Twelve (12) credit hours are considered fulltime. Keep in mind, college students should spend 2 to 3 hours per week outside of class (reading, studying, writing, and preparing) for every hour they are in class.

- A = 4 quality points
- B = 3 quality points
- C = 2 quality points
- D = 1 quality point
- F = 0 quality points
Example of Calculating Your "Quality Points"
- A(4) x 3 credit hours = 12 quality points
- A(4) x 4 credit hours = 16 quality points
- B(3) x 2 credit hours = 6 quality points
- C(2) x 3 credit hours = 6 quality points
40 quality points divided by 12 credit hours = 3.33 GPA
