Cumulative GPA Calculator
Calculate your cumulative GPA — track grades across all semesters.
How Cumulative Grade Point Average is Calculated
Track your long-term academic standing by combining completed credit hours with new semester coursework on the standard 4.0 grading scale.
Current Semester / Term GPA
Reflects solely the grades earned in classes taken during the current academic term. Great for monitoring recent study habits and scholarship eligibility for that specific period.
Overall Cumulative GPA
The credit-weighted average of every course taken since day one of college. This permanent metric appears on your official graduation transcript and degree certificate.
How Credit Hours Weight Your Overall GPA
Every letter grade corresponds to numerical Grade Points on a standard 4.0 scale (A=4.0, B=3.0, C=2.0, D=1.0, F=0.0):
Worked Example: If you previously completed 30 credits with a 3.20 GPA (96 quality points) and this semester you complete 15 credits with a 3.80 GPA (57 quality points):
Total Points = (96 + 57 = 153) ÷ (30 + 15 = 45 credits) = 3.40 Cumulative GPA.
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about cumulative GPA, credits, and grade improvement.
Cumulative GPA = Total Quality Points ÷ Total Attempted Credit Hours. Quality points are calculated by multiplying each course credit by the numerical grade point (e.g., 3 credits × 4.0 for an A = 12 quality points).
