Calculating your GPA
Grades are assigned point values:
A = 4 points
B = 3 points
C= 2 points
NC= 0 points
*”I” grades are temporary and are not factored into the GPA .
•Overall GPA (non-weighted): Add all semester grades on your
transcript together. Divide the total by the number of semester courses.
•Weighted GPA: Same as overall GPA but add 1 extra point for each
semester AP course or transferable college course to the total before
dividing by the number of semester courses (individual private
universities may calculate weighted GPA differently).
•UC/CSU GPA: Use only grades received in “a-g” classes from 10th and 11th
grade. Add an extra point for each semester AP course or transferable
college course (http://www.assist.org) with a maximum of 8 extra points.

More CSU Requirements
Early Assessment Program (EAP): http://calstate.edu/eap/
(EAP results can be found here in August of your 12th grade year.)
•The EAP tests are an optional part of the 11th grade STAR test that
you need to take.
•Your EAP results let you and CSUs know if you will be ready for
college level Math and English. It determines if you need to take
extra English and Math courses prior to starting at the CSU.
•Students who do not take the EAP test might end up having to
take extra English and Math classes the summer before they enter
the CSU as well as extra classes at the CSU that they could have
taken during their 12th grade year at Irvington.
•It can also be used to bypass the English and Math placement
exams at certain community colleges.
www.csusuccess.org has more information about the tests as
well as free, online exam preps.
Make sure to check the box on your STAR test that releases your EAP results
to the CSUs.
