Frequently asked questions

How do you calculate college GPA?

Multiply each course grade point value by the course credit hours, add the quality points together, and divide by total credit hours.

Do college credits affect GPA?

Yes. A four-credit course affects GPA more than a one-credit course because GPA is weighted by credit hours.

Can this calculate cumulative college GPA?

Yes. Enter your current cumulative GPA and completed credits along with your current semester courses to estimate your updated cumulative GPA.

Does this include pass/fail classes?

Pass/fail classes usually do not affect GPA unless your school assigns grade points to them. Check your college policy before including them.
