Calculating GPA

The Grade Point Average (GPA) is given on a scale from 0.00 to 4.00. Semester GPA is calculated each semester and is shown to students on the Self Service Banner (SSB) Online Transcript as Term GPA (one semester) and Cumulative GPA (all semesters at specified level).

 

Term (Semester) TGPA = Total of Semester Grade Points (sum of all GPV x sum of all Course Credits attempted)

Total of all Course Credits for the Semester

 

Cumulative CGPA = Total of all Grade Points (sum of all GPV x sum of all Course Credits)

Total of All Course Credits of all Semesters

 

Example for a student enrolled in Bachelor of International Logistics Management (IL701)

Course Course Credits Grade GPV Grade Points (GPV x Course Credits)
TLB6000 15 B- 2.75 41.25
TLB6200 15 B 3 45
ELB5501 15 C 2.25 33.75
BSD5106 15 F 0 0
Total 60 120

 

Semester GPA is 2 = 120 /60 (Grade Points/ Course Credits)

Assessments at Bahrain Polytechnic are governed by the Assessment and Moderation Policy and the Results and Reporting Policy. All Policies can be found on Moodle.
