The steps to take:

1)   Multiply the number of credit hours for each course taken at UTSA by the point value of the letter grades.  (See   chart below)  By doing this, you translate the "letter grades" into "points."

2)   Next, add up the number of credit hours*.

3)   Then, add up the number of points earned**.

4)   Finally, divide the total number of points by the total number of credit hours.
