How to calculate the Grade Point Average (Example)
| Year/Semester | Major Category | Subject | Grade | Grade | Grade X Score = Total Grade | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Year 0000 Semester | Compulsory liberal arts subject | Mathematics | 2 | A+ | 2 X 4.5 = 9 | |
| Optional liberal arts subject | Korean history and culture | 2 | Ao | 2 X 4.0 = 8 | ||
| Compulsory major subject | On-site training | 3 | B+ | 3 X 3.5 = 10.5 | ||
| Compulsory major subject | Graduate work | 3 | Bo | 3 X 3.0 = 9 | ||
| Optional major subject | Circuit Theory | 2 | C+ | 2 X 2.5 =5 | ||
| Optional major subject | Theory of Mechanics | 2 | Co | 2 X 2.0=4 | ||
| Optional major or liberal arts subject | Electromagnetics | 2 | D+ | 2 X 1.5 = 3 | ||
| Compulsory subject for teaching | Introduction to Education | 3 | Do | 3 X 1.0 = 3 | ||
| General optional subject | Swimming | 3 | F | 3 X 0 = 0 | ||
| PF optional subject | Jobs & Personal Development | 1 | P | 1 X 0 = 0 | ||
| Applied credits | Obtained credits | Total score | Average | 9+8+10.5+9+5+4+3+3+0+0=51.5 | ||
| 23 | 20 | 51.5 | 2.3/4.5 | |||
- The GPA is the sum of all the values obtained by credit x grade.
- The basic GPA calculation is rounded to the nearest 2nd number of the total score (51.5) ÷ Applied credits (23) = 2.23.
- The PF includes credits but not the score; thus, 2.34 (= Total score (51.5) ÷ Applied credits excluding PF (22)).
- Major Category: compulsory liberal arts subject, optional liberal arts subject, compulsory major subject, optional major subject, optional major or liberal arts subject, compulsory subject for teaching, general optional subject, PF optional subject.
Percentile for the total average is calculated using the following grading table
