Total GPA is an individual student's cumulative grade point average based on all courses attempted at SDSU and transferable courses at other universities, liberal arts colleges, and community colleges. This is the quotient of total grade points and total units attempted for a letter grade (i.e., the sum of campus units and transfer units completed for a letter grade).

Logical Transformation/Calculation[edit | edit source]

Total GPA = Weighted Total Grade Points / Total Units Attempted
