?Frequently Asked Questions

What is the GPA Calculator?

The GPA Calculator computes cumulative and semester Grade Point Averages (GPA) on a standard 4.0 unweighted scale and 5.0 weighted scale for Honors, AP (Advanced Placement), and IB (International Baccalaureate) courses.

Who is the GPA Calculator for?

Designed for high school students, college undergraduates, graduate applicants, and academic advisors tracking academic standing and scholarship eligibility.

How to Use the GPA Calculator

  1. Select your grading scale (Standard 4.0 or Weighted 5.0).
  2. Enter your course names, letter grades earned (A, B, C, etc.), and credit hour weights.
  3. Add additional semesters or prior cumulative GPA to update your overall standing.

Worked Calculation Example

Earning an A (4.0) in a 4-credit Math course, a B (3.0) in a 3-credit English course, and an A (4.0) in a 3-credit Science course produces 37.0 Total Quality Points over 10 credits, resulting in a 3.70 Cumulative GPA.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is Cumulative GPA calculated?

Cumulative GPA = Total Quality Points (Grade Value × Course Credit Hours) divided by Total Credit Hours Attempted.

What is the difference between Weighted and Unweighted GPA?

Unweighted GPA caps grades at 4.0 regardless of course difficulty. Weighted GPA assigns extra quality points for advanced coursework (e.g., AP or Honors classes get up to 5.0 points for an A).
