shaionyx, that may be the case in schools where you have studied in the past but in the school I am with right now credit hours are not tied to classroom hours but to level of difficulty/complexity. For example: one course has a total of 7 hours but the credits are 5 only.
As for the GPA - anything less than 50 = 0 points assigned and students have to have a minimum 2.0 GPA to graduate, which means even if they get a bare pass (50 or 55 which means 1 point is assigned) in their courses the GPA will calculate as 1.0 and they do not graduate - there are also academic penalties as to the number of courses they may sign up for if their GPA is low so that they can devote more time to fewer classes and hopefully get higher grades.
Of course GPA calculations and credit hours differ from school to school and curricululm to curriculum.
The Credit hours for a course means the number of hours the course is been taught in a week. For a example if Math is been taught 3 hours in a week then the credit hours is 3.
Depending on the curriculum your school is using, assigning grades to scores varies from one curriculum to another. Using UK curriculum:
70 - 100 = A A is assigned 5 points
60 - 69 = B B is assigned 4 points
50 0 59 = C C is assigned 3 points
45 - 49 = D D is assigned 2 points
40 - 44 = E E is assigned 1 point
0 - 39 = F F is 0
GP = credit unit * points
Example if the credit unit for maths is 3 and you have an A, which means the point your pint is 5
then the GP for maths = 3 * 5 = 15
you have to calculate your GP for all the courses you took.
The grades are given on the basis of class average. For example:
The average of the class is 50 and the total marks are 100. So the people near 50 (+ 10 and - 10) depending on instructor would give you a C grade. Above 60 would get C+, Above 70 would get B, Above 80 gets B+ and above 90 gets A. Subsequently below 40 gets a D and below 30 gets a F.
The problem in this is that if the class average is even 60 or 65, there is possibility that you only get a C grade. So it all depends on the class average and the instructor.
2. Absolute Grading:
Its like predefined grades. That you get this much of marks and you get this grade. 90 gets A, 80 gets B+, 70 gets B, 60 gets C+ etc.
How to calculate GPA:
It depends on your credit hours.
Example:
1. The credit hours for Maths are 3.0
and credit hours for English are 1.5.
So what happens is the grades which you get defines the GPA.
D = 1.0
C = 2.0
C+ = 2.5
B = 3.0
B+ = 3.5
A = 4.0
If you get a C+ in Maths means you get 3 x 2.5 = 7
If you get A in English means you get 1.5 x 4 = 6
Now add these, 7 + 6 = 13 and divide by total credit hours, which are Maths + English = 3 + 1.5 = 4.5
Credit hours usually is related to the difficulty level (and the time related to completing the material) of the course. The info should be in your course syllabus or from your registrar's office.
The credit hours and the points assigned to your grade that you earned are what you need to know to calculate your GPA - contact your school's registrar office to get the info you need.

Max some institutions ask GPA for 10 and some asks for 4.
If u have scored 35 for 100 in each subject..then ur GPA for 4 is 1.4 and for 10 is 3.5
Like I said you could still pass but not graduate. What is the name of your school?
Passing mark is 35/100 every subject!

Then the GPA = total GP / total credit unit
There are 2 different ways of grading.
1. Relative Grading
2. Absolute Grading
1. Relative Grading (Through Which I studied)
The grades are given on the basis of class average. For example:
The average of the class is 50 and the total marks are 100. So the people near 50 (+ 10 and - 10) depending on instructor would give you a C grade. Above 60 would get C+, Above 70 would get B, Above 80 gets B+ and above 90 gets A. Subsequently below 40 gets a D and below 30 gets a F.
The problem in this is that if the class average is even 60 or 65, there is possibility that you only get a C grade. So it all depends on the class average and the instructor.
2. Absolute Grading:

It depends on your credit hours.
Example:
1. The credit hours for Maths are 3.0
and credit hours for English are 1.5.
So what happens is the grades which you get defines the GPA.
D = 1.0
C = 2.0
C+ = 2.5
B = 3.0
B+ = 3.5
A = 4.0
If you get a C+ in Maths means you get 3 x 2.5 = 7
If you get A in English means you get 1.5 x 4 = 6
Now add these, 7 + 6 = 13 and divide by total credit hours, which are Maths + English = 3 + 1.5 = 4.5
13 / 4.5 = 2.89
So GPA = 2.89
Hope it clears your confusions.
Yup.. just like marycatherine said.. thats how you calculate it = zero
If the grade is 35/100 possible marks - then the points assigned to a failing grade is usually 0 (zero) which means your GPA is = zero.
35? Isn't that very low?
35??
And you qualify for next semester??
the place where i studied, we had to repeat the course if we get grades less than 60% :(
