Frequently asked questions
How is GPA calculated?
Each letter grade maps to points (A = 4.0, A- = 3.7, B+ = 3.3, and so on). Multiply each course's points by its credit hours, add them up, and divide by total credit hours.
Do A+ grades count as more than 4.0?
At most US schools A+ is capped at 4.0, which is what this calculator uses. A few institutions award 4.3; check your school's registrar page if it matters for you.
How do I calculate cumulative GPA with past semesters?
Enter your prior GPA and total prior credit hours in the bottom row. The calculator weights old and new quality points by credits, which is exactly how registrars combine them.
Do pass/fail courses affect GPA?
Usually not: a Pass earns credits but no quality points, so it is excluded from the GPA average. Leave pass/fail courses out of the table.
