Find semester or cumulative GPA by combining grade points and course credit weights.
Overview
The GPA Calculator converts letter or numeric grades into grade points and computes a weighted average by credit hours.
It is ideal for planning target grades, scholarship thresholds, and semester performance tracking.
Weighted GPA planning shows how future semester grades can move your cumulative average before registration deadlines.
Steps
Enter each course included in your GPA period.
Provide letter grade or point value for each course.
Set credit hours to weight each course correctly.
Compute weighted average across all entered classes.
Try alternate grade outcomes to plan next semester goals.
Math
GPA = sum(grade points x credits) / sum(credits)
Each course contributes proportionally to its credit weight. Higher-credit classes influence GPA more than low-credit classes.
