Particularly in Liberal Studies, knowing your GPA is important in measuring your progress.
Every course is worth a specific number of units.
Most courses at CSUN are three unit courses although some might be one unit, five units, etc. To calculate your GPA, first take the grade you received in a course and mulitiply it by the number of units assigned to that course. This gives you the number of grade points earned for that class. That will give you the average grade point you earned for units attempted.
