GPA Calculator

Grade Point Average (GPA) is a standardized way of measuring academic performance. This calculator helps you track your GPA across multiple courses.

Key Terms

• GPA — Grade Point Average, typically on a 4.0 scale.
• Credit Hours — The weight assigned to each course (usually 3-4 for standard courses).
• Grade Points — Credits × Grade Value (A=4.0, B=3.0, etc.).
• Cumulative GPA — Overall GPA across all semesters.
• Major GPA — GPA calculated only for courses in your major.

GPA Formula

Tips for Improving GPA

• Focus on high-credit courses — they impact GPA more significantly.
