What is a college 'GPA' and how is it calculated?

GPA stands for grade point average, and grade point average is a measure of your academic progress throughout your educational career. Each letter grade is worth a certain number of progress points. A is usually equal to 4.0, B a 3, C is 2, D is a 1 and F is worth 0. When you add up all those progress points for all of the courses that you take each semester and divide them by the number of courses that you've taken, you get a grade point average.
