Q: What is the difference between semester GPA and cumulative GPA?

Semester GPA normally uses courses from one term, while cumulative GPA combines eligible coursework across multiple terms according to the institution's rules.

Q: Does this calculator use a 4.0 scale?

Yes. This calculator uses a common 4.0 reference scale from A equals 4.0 through F equals 0.0.

Q: Do high-credit classes affect GPA more?

Yes. In a credit-weighted GPA, a higher-credit course has a larger effect because grade points are multiplied by credit hours.

Calculate your semester or cumulative GPA using course grades and credit hours. Add your classes, choose each letter grade, and get an accurate credit-weighted GPA on a standard 4.0 scale.

About the GPA Calculator

GPA stands for Grade Point Average. In a credit-weighted GPA, each course grade is converted to a grade-point value and multiplied by that course's credit hours. The weighted points are then divided by total attempted credit hours.

This calculator uses a common 4.0 reference scale. Individual schools can use different grade values, weighting rules, repeat-course policies, pass/fail rules, or honors/AP adjustments, so your official transcript may differ.

GPA = Total (Grade Points × Credit Hours) ÷ Total Credit Hours

Letter grade	Grade points
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	0.0

Always check your institution's official grading policy when you need an official GPA.

Semester GPA normally uses courses from one term. Cumulative GPA combines eligible coursework across multiple terms according to your institution's rules.

Does this calculator use a 4.0 scale?

Yes. This version uses a common 4.0 reference scale from A = 4.0 through F = 0.0. Your school may use slightly different values or additional weighting.

Do high-credit classes affect GPA more?

Yes. Because the grade-point value is multiplied by credit hours, a higher-credit course has a larger effect on a credit-weighted GPA than a lower-credit course.
