Help!! I am struggling with getting a correct GPA. I just need the correct formula. Any help would be appreciated. Our standard classes use a 4 point scale A=4 etc. Our honors classes get a 1 point bump. Currently my formula for the honors class is sum((GPA equivalent 2 + Alt. Weight) * Credits Earned) / sum(Credits Attempted) This will give me a score but if I figure the GPA myself the numbers don't match. Thanks. Melanie T

    @Melanie Thompson Have you checked the area in academics where you can see how the GPA is being calculated using a sample student? I have found out the hard way that I might have a single course where I don't have the GPA weight set up correctly even though the formula looks like it should work.

    @Chris Felinski Thanks Chris. I have it pulled up. I don't see the issue yet, but I think this will help.
