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 the courses you are currently taking or plan to take this semester.
  2. 2Select the grade you expect to earn in each course along with its credit hours.
  3. 3See your projected semester GPA immediately, and combine it with your current cumulative GPA to forecast the overall result.

Formula

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

The predictor applies the same credit-weighted formula as a standard GPA calculation, using the grades you expect rather than grades already earned. Include current cumulative GPA to weight your projection against all completed coursework.

Examples

Plan: A (4cr), B+ (3cr), A- (3cr), B (3cr)

QP: 16.0 + 9.9 + 11.1 + 9.0 = 46.0 ÷ 13.

Projected GPA 3.54

About

The GPA Predictor lets you forecast your grade point average for an upcoming or in-progress semester before final grades are out. Add your courses, choose the grades you expect to receive, and assign credit hours to see the projected GPA instantly. You can also include your current cumulative GPA and credits to see how the projected term would affect your overall average. Students use this tool to estimate semester outcomes, compare planning scenarios, and decide where to focus extra effort based on the impact each course has on their GPA.

Frequently asked questions

How is this different from a regular GPA calculator?
A regular calculator uses grades you've already earned. The predictor uses expected grades so you can forecast a semester before grades are finalized.
How accurate is the prediction?
It is only as accurate as the grades you estimate. Use your performance on assignments and tests so far to make realistic estimates.
How do credit hours affect overall GPA weighting?
Courses carrying higher credit hours (e.g., 4 or 5 credit lab sciences) carry proportionately greater weight in your GPA than 1 or 2 credit electives: Quality Points = Course Grade Points × Credit Hours.
How often should college students recalculate their GPA?
Students should recalculate their cumulative GPA at the midpoint of each semester to forecast academic standing, Dean's List eligibility, and graduation honors status.
