Frequently Asked Questions
GPA is calculated by multiplying each course's credit hours by the grade's point value (A=4.0, B=3.0, etc.), summing those quality points, then dividing by total credit hours. For example, an A in a 3-credit course earns 12 quality points.
A GPA of 3.0 (B average) is generally considered good. A 3.5 or higher is very competitive for graduate school, and a 3.7+ is excellent. Dean's list typically requires 3.5 or above, though requirements vary by institution.
This calculator uses the standard 4.0 scale common in US colleges: 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, F=0.0.
Yes. Enter all courses from all semesters to get your cumulative GPA. The calculator weighs each course by its credit hours, so courses with more credits have a proportionally larger impact.
Plus grades add 0.3 points (B+ = 3.3) and minus grades subtract 0.3 points (B- = 2.7) compared to the base letter grade. An A+ is still 4.0 at most schools. These increments can significantly affect your cumulative GPA over many courses.
