GPA Calculation

Option 1: Use the Automated GPA Calculator

This calculator is intended for a close approximation of actual GPA.

Grade Point Average Calculator

To answer these questions you need to supply the following information:

  • Enter Your Current Cumulative GPA:
  • Your Total Number of Attempted Credit Hours Completed to Date:
    (not including current hours)

How will the grades that I anticipate receiving in the courses I am now taking affect my overall GPA?

Enter the credit hours and expected grade for (up to six) courses that you are presently taking below and press CALCULATE to find your predicted new cumulative GPA at the end of this term.

Course 1: Credit Hours Anticipated grade:
Course 2: Credit Hours Anticipated grade:
Course 3: Credit Hours Anticipated grade:
Course 4: Credit Hours Anticipated grade:
Course 5: Credit Hours Anticipated grade:
Course 6: Credit Hours Anticipated grade:

What will it take and how many credit hours will I need to raise my GPA to a new specified level?

I would like to raise my cumulative GPA to

If I can maintain a average from hereon, (e.g. 3.5, 2.5,....) how many additional credit hours will it take to raise my GPA to this new level?


What grade average do I need to achieve this term to raise my cumulative GPA to a new specified level?

I am currently taking credit hours.

If I want to raise my cumulative GPA to at the end of this term, e.g. 3.5, 2.5,....) what will I have to average on my current courses to reach this goal?




Option 2: Determine Grade Point Averages Manually

1) First, pick those classes you wish to include in your calculation (for example select all of your major courses to calculate major GPA).

2) Second, multiply the credit amount by the number equivalence of the letter grade.

A+ = 4.0
A = 4.0
A- = 3.67
B+ = 3.33
B = 3.0
B- = 2.67
C+ = 2.33
C = 2.0
C- = 1.67
D+ = 1.33
D = 1.0
D- = .67
F = 0.0

(If you re-enrolled in a course, count only the credit hours and grade from the second course)

3) Third, total these amounts. This number is known as the quality points.

4) Fourth, add up all of the credit amounts for each class you added together. This number is know as the GPA credits.

To find your GPA divide the quality points by the GPA credits. For example:

4 credits B-
4 credits A
4 credits C+
4 credits C

GPA credits = 4+4+4+4 = 16

Quality points = (4x2.67)+(4x4)+(4x2.33)+(4x2) = 44

44/16 = 2.75 cummulative GPA
