How it works

When to use it

  • Calculate a semester or cumulative GPA from letter grades and credit hours.
  • Check where you stand before applying for honors or scholarships.

Formula

GPA = Σ(grade points × credits) ÷ Σcredits
A/A+ 4.0, A− 3.7, B+ 3.3, B 3.0, B− 2.7, C+ 2.3, C 2.0, C− 1.7, D+ 1.3, D 1.0, D− 0.7, F 0

Worked example

Given: Calculus 4 credits A−, English 3 credits B+, Programming 3 credits A

  1. Quality points = 3.7×4 + 3.3×3 + 4.0×3 = 14.8 + 9.9 + 12.0 = 36.7.
  2. GPA = 36.7 ÷ 10 = 3.67.

Result: GPA 3.67.

Reading the result

  • Courses with more credits move your GPA more.
  • Your registrar's official GPA is what counts on applications.

Limitations

  • Some schools give A+ 4.33 or use other scales; pass/fail courses usually aren't included.
