West Valley College calculates a student's grade point average on a 4.00 scale. Grade points for each course are found by multiplying the grade point value of the grade awarded by the number of semester units for that course. Total grade points are then summed for all courses graded A, B, C, D, or F, and divided by the total units of those same courses.
Grades of P (Pass), NP (No Pass), and SP (Satisfactory Progress, noncredit courses only) carry no grade point value and are not counted toward the GPA.
