<p>It does make sense that all quality points earned count towards GPA, and I know that. But do the hours from repeated courses count in the calculation? Right now I have 124 quality points and that gets divided by 63 hours to get my current cumulative GPA. After this semester, will UNC add all 12 hours from this semester to my total? This would make the GPA calculation: [ __ quality points/75 hours = cumulative GPA ]. But if they do not add repeated hours into the calculation, this would be the equation: [ __ quality points/65 hours = cumulative GPA ]. Say I got 28 quality points this semester. If you plug 152 into each equation, the second equation with fewer hours will yield a better GPA. This is what I am concerned about because I don’t know which way they will calculate it.</p>
<p>Maybe if I use your example, it will make my question easier to understand. In the example you gave, you said that if I were to take 15 hours, 6 of which are repeated classes, I would get 9 more credit hours toward the 120 needed to graduate. But would this mean that only those 9 hours would be added to my current total of 63 for the calculation of my GPA? Or would all 15 get added? My GPA would be significantly better if just the 9 were added for the calculation. </p>
<p>(as for the 63 total hours: the hours I took in high school to earn my A.A. don’t count into my UNC GPA, in case you were confused by that.)</p>
