Scale: Unweighted 4.0 (A=4.0, A-=3.7, B+=3.3…). P/NP, W, I grades are excluded. GPA = Σ(grade point × credits) / Σ credits.

How to use

  1. 1Enter each course name, select the letter grade (A+ through F), and assign its credit hours.
  2. 2Pass (P), Withdrawal (W), Incomplete (I) and Audit grades are excluded — only letter grades with credits count.
  3. 3Your semester GPA calculates instantly as quality points divided by total credits. Add prior GPA and credits in Cumulative mode for your overall GPA.

Formula

GPA = Σ (grade point × credits) / Σ credits

Each letter grade converts to a grade point on the 4.0 scale (A+ = 4.0, A = 4.0, A- = 3.7, B+ = 3.3, …, F = 0.0). Multiply each grade point by the course credits to get quality points, sum all quality points, and divide by total credits. Pass/No-Pass and Withdrawn grades are excluded from the calculation.

Examples

Three courses: A (3cr), B+ (3cr), B (4cr)

Quality points: 4.0×3 = 12.0, 3.3×3 = 9.9, 3.0×4 = 12.0 → total 33.9 QP ÷ 10 credits.

GPA 3.39

Five courses with mixed grades

A- (3cr) + B+ (4cr) + A (3cr) + C+ (3cr) + B (3cr) → 11.1 + 13.2 + 12.0 + 6.9 + 9.0 = 52.2 QP ÷ 16 credits.
