Institutional Note: Academic Disclaimer: Grading standards and conversions vary across institutions and credential evaluators.

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. 1Add high school courses and separately identify your dual-credit college courses.
  2. 2Enter grades and credit hours for each, using the scale your school applies.
  3. 3See both GPA views — high school only and the combined record.

Formula

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

Dual-credit courses generate a grade point average at both institutions. The combined record is computed by pooling quality points and credits from each course. Check whether your high school weights dual-credit like an Honors or AP course.

Examples

High school: A (4cr), B+ (4cr) + dual credit: A- (3cr), A (3cr)

QP: 16.0 + 13.2 + 11.1 + 12.0 = 52.3 ÷ 14.

About

The Dual Credit GPA Calculator handles the combined academic record of students earning both high school and college credit in the same course. Add your high school classes and dual-credit courses with their grades and credit hours to see a combined credit-weighted GPA for the full record. Because many high schools weight dual-credit classes more heavily, and because the college transcript carries its own GPA, the tool presents a combined view alongside the individual pieces. Dual-enrollment students use it to understand how their concurrent work affects both course records.

Frequently asked questions

How are dual-credit grades reported?
They typically appear on both your high school and college transcripts with the same grade, and may be weighted differently by your high school.
Does dual credit count toward my college GPA?
At most schools, the college transcript carries the grade and counts toward the official college GPA. Confirm with your institution.
