How to Compute Your GPA
Each course carries a credit value (1-6) and each grade received carries
a quality point value (0.00 - 4.00). To compute your GPA, multiply the
credit value by the quality point value to get the quality points received
for that course. Repeat this for each course in a semester and total
your credits attempted, and quality points. Divide quality points by
credits attempted to get your GPA.

You can compute your major GPA in the same manner. Select all the courses that apply to your major and perform the same process.
How Does Repeating a Course Effect my GPA
When a course with a C-, D, or F is repeated, the full effect of the first occurance of the course is replaced with the second occurance. The first course will still show on your transcript and will be effective for the semester it was taken, but after it is repeated the cumulative GPA will reflect the second grade. When computing the cumlative major GPA, for example, count the credits and quality points associated with the second grade and do not count the first.
