How can I compute my GWA? Determine the average of the grades you have obtained for that class (e.g., if you have obtained a 4 on the first semester on that class and a 2 on the second semester of that same class: 4 + 2 = 6/2 = 3). The average will be the one that is considered in the computation of your GWA.Feb 14, 2022
