What is cumulative GPA?

Cumulative GPA is the weighted average of all grade points earned across every semester, not just the most recent one. It is calculated by dividing total quality points by total credit hours attempted.

How do I find my current cumulative GPA and credits?

Check your academic transcript or student portal. Most schools display your cumulative GPA and total attempted credit hours on your unofficial transcript.

What grade point value does each letter grade have?

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.

Does an F count toward credit hours?

Yes. A failing grade (F = 0.0 quality points) still adds to the attempted credit hours, which lowers your GPA significantly. This calculator includes F grades in the denominator.

Is my data stored anywhere?

No. All calculations run entirely in your browser. Nothing is sent to any server, and a page refresh clears all entered data.

Summary

Enter your previous cumulative GPA and credits, then add this semester's courses to see your updated overall GPA instantly.

How it works

Enter your existing cumulative GPA and the total credit hours you have already completed. Then add each course from the current semester with its letter grade and credit hours. The calculator converts letter grades to quality points, adds them to your prior quality-point total, and divides by the combined credit hours.
