Semester GPA Calculator
Calculate your semester GPA from courses with letter grades and credit hours.
Also computes cumulative GPA with prior credits.
Semester GPA
Semester GPA is calculated by dividing total grade points by total credit hours attempted.
Formula:
GPA = Σ(Grade Points × Credit Hours) / Σ(Credit Hours)
Standard grade point values:
| Grade | Points | Grade | Points |
|---|---|---|---|
| A+ / A | 4.0 | C+ | 2.3 |
| A- | 3.7 | C | 2.0 |
| B+ | 3.3 | C- | 1.7 |
| B | 3.0 | D+ | 1.3 |
| B- | 2.7 | D | 1.0 |
| F | 0.0 |
Cumulative GPA combines the current semester with prior semesters:
Cumulative GPA = (Prior Quality Points + Current Quality Points) / (Prior Credits + Current Credits)
Example:
- English (3 credits, A = 4.0): 3 × 4.0 = 12.0 quality points
- Math (4 credits, B+ = 3.3): 4 × 3.3 = 13.2 quality points
- History (3 credits, B = 3.0): 3 × 3.0 = 9.0 quality points
- Semester GPA: (12.0 + 13.2 + 9.0) / (3 + 4 + 3) = 34.2 / 10 = 3.42
How to enter: Enter grades and credits as comma-separated pairs. Example: A,3,B+,4,B,3
