Frequently Asked Questions
How do I calculate my GPA?
Multiply each course grade point value by its credit hours to get grade points. Add all grade points together, then divide by total credit hours. Example: An A (4.0) in a 3-credit course = 12 grade points.
What is a good GPA in the US?
A GPA of 3.5–4.0 is excellent (Dean's List territory). 3.0 is a solid B average. Below 2.0 may result in academic probation. Most graduate schools require a minimum 3.0 GPA.
What is the difference between semester GPA and cumulative GPA?
Semester GPA is calculated just for the current term's courses. Cumulative GPA covers all courses across all semesters combined. Employers and graduate schools typically look at your cumulative GPA.
Can one bad semester ruin my GPA?
One bad semester will lower your cumulative GPA but rarely ruins it permanently. The more credit hours you've completed, the less impact one semester has. Use our calculator to see exactly how a semester affects your overall GPA.
