I find the easiest way to do this is to use a function.
1

int get_points ()
{   int points;

    do
    {  cout<<"\nPlease enter the grade point value of the assignment:" <<endl; 
        cin >>points; 
    }   
    while (points <= 0 || points > 100);  // Or whatever your criteria are
    return points;
}

The function doesn't return unless the value is valid. This also simplifies your main line logic.

If you have a number of integer value to ask for, you generalize the routine: 
1
2
3
4
5

int get_int (const string & prompt, int min, int max)
{   int value;

    do
    {   cout << prompt << endl;  
        cin >> value;   
    }          
    while (value < min || value > max) 
    return value; 
}


Line 122, 128: These statements don't do anything.

PLEASE USE CODE TAGS (the <> formatting button) when posting code.

I'm sorry I never used the do function would I have to declare it as a new variable?

do while is a type of loop. It is not a function or variable.

  do
  { <statements> 
  }
  while ( <condition> );

I was able to get the program to work correctly by moving the calculations down. Thank you for your help
