About the College GPA Calculator

What Is College GPA?

College GPA, or Grade Point Average, is a numerical representation of a student's academic performance. It is commonly calculated from course grades and their corresponding credit hours.

What Are Credit Hours?

Credit hours represent the academic workload or value assigned to a course. Because courses can have different credit values, GPA calculations generally take credit hours into account when determining the weighted average.

How Is College GPA Calculated?

A typical GPA calculation multiplies the grade points earned in each course by its credit hours, adds those quality points together, and divides the total by the number of attempted credit hours.

How the College GPA Calculator Works

Enter each course, select its grade, and enter the corresponding credit hours. The calculator applies the selected grading scale and calculates the weighted GPA from the information provided.

Semester GPA vs. Cumulative GPA

Semester GPA measures academic performance during a particular term, while cumulative GPA represents performance across multiple completed terms. The exact calculation rules can vary between institutions.
