The formula
GPA = Σ(grade points × credits) ÷ Σ credits
Examples
- Four courses: A (3 cr), B+ (4 cr), A- (3 cr), B (2 cr)
GPA this term: 3.52 (12 credits)
- The same semester added to a 3.2 GPA over 60 credits
GPA this term: 3.52 (12 credits) Cumulative GPA: 3.25 (72 credits)
- A lighter load: B (3 cr), B (3 cr), C+ (3 cr)
GPA this term: 2.77 (9 credits)
Limitations and assumptions
Uses the common unweighted 4.0 scale (A = 4.0, A− = 3.7, B+ = 3.3). Your school may use different values.
Frequently asked questions
How is GPA calculated?
Multiply each course grade point (A = 4.0, B = 3.0 and so on) by its credit hours, add those up and divide by total credit hours.
What grade points do + and - grades get?
This calculator uses the common scale where A- is 3.7, B+ is 3.3 and B- is 2.7. Your school may use a slightly different table.
How do I work out cumulative GPA?
Add the quality points from all terms and divide by all credits attempted. Enter your previous GPA and credits and the tool does this.
Does it handle weighted GPA?
No. It uses the unweighted 4.0 scale. Honours or AP weighting varies by school.
