What do colleges count in your GPA?

<p>I only ask because I am in a really difficult Accelerated Computer Science Program at my school that I work very hard to maintain a high grade in, and I’d just like to know if it counts at all, and if it is counted, is it counted out of 4.0 or 2.0 (half a class).</p>

<p>Same question for Religion Courses, though I expect that not to count, and I’m fine with that because It’s not very difficult to get, like, a 99 in the mandatory Religion Course at my school, haha.</p>

<p>They account for every academic class, so your computer class should probably be counted. Only classes like gym, health, religion, and depending on the school, art, would not be counted. Anything that’s not really academic wouldn’t be counted.</p>

<p>At my school they count everything. But art, religion, and computer are only one semester whereas all other classes are a full year. The semester courses count half a credit, the full year courses count a full credit.</p>
