How do I calculate my GPA?

To calculate GPA: 1) Add each course with its credit hours and letter grade. 2) The calculator multiplies each grade's point value by credit hours. 3) It sums all grade points and divides by total credit hours. Example: An A (4.0) in a 3-credit course = 12 grade points.

What is the 4.0 GPA scale?

The 4.0 GPA scale assigns point values to letter grades: A/A+ = 4.0, A- = 3.7, B+ = 3.3, B = 3.0, B- = 2.7, C+ = 2.3, C = 2.0, C- = 1.7, D+ = 1.3, D = 1.0, D- = 0.7, F = 0.0.

How do credit hours affect GPA?

Credit hours weight your GPA calculation. A 4-credit course impacts your GPA more than a 1-credit course. This is why it's called a "weighted" average - courses with more credits count more toward your final GPA.

Generally, a 3.0-3.5 GPA is considered good, 3.5-3.7 is very good, and 3.7+ is excellent. For competitive colleges and graduate programs, a 3.5+ GPA is typically preferred.
