How do I calculate my GPA?
Multiply each course’s configured grade points by its credits or weight, add those values, then divide by the included credits or weight.
How do I calculate semester GPA?
Enter each course grade and its credits or relative weight in the semester table. The calculator uses all included courses to calculate the term result.
How do I calculate cumulative GPA?
Enter the current GPA, completed credits, new term GPA, and new term credits. All values must use the selected scale.
What is the difference between weighted and unweighted GPA?
Unweighted GPA uses base grade points. A weighted policy can add points for more advanced courses, but the available levels and bonuses depend on the institution.
Is GPA always calculated on a 4.0 scale?
No. GPA and academic-average policies vary by school and country. Choose a defined scale or create a custom mapping that matches your institution.
Can GPA be higher than 4.0?
Yes, some institutions use 4.33, 5.0, or weighted systems. A result above 4.0 is meaningful only within the policy that defines it.
Can I use ECTS credits?
Yes. ECTS credits, credit hours, course units, and relative positive weights all work in the same formula.
Can I use a 10-point or 20-point grading scale?
Yes. The direct-average presets keep the selected numeric scale rather than falsely converting it into a 4.0 GPA.
How do pass/fail classes affect GPA?
Pass/fail treatment varies. Included presets mark configured Pass and Withdrawn grades as excluded; use your institution’s policy for credit and transcript rules.
Do repeated courses count toward GPA?
Policies differ. This calculator uses the course rows entered and does not apply replacement, latest-attempt, or highest-attempt rules automatically.
How do I convert my grades to a 4.0 GPA?
Use a 4.0 mapping only when your institution defines or accepts that mapping. There is no universally correct conversion from every national grading system.
Are international GPA conversions exact?
No. Grade boundaries, weighting, and conversion policies are institution-specific. Use the policy supplied by the receiving or issuing institution.
