Formula

Core Formula

\text{Semester GPA} = \frac{\sum (\text{Grade Points} \times \text{Credits})}{\sum \text{Credits}}

How it works: Each course contributes grade points weighted by credits, and optional cumulative data updates overall GPA.

Worked Example

Two courses with grade points and credits produce semester GPA and optional new cumulative GPA.

Calculating Your Semester GPA

Semester GPA is the grade point average for a single academic term, computed by weighting each course grade by its credit hours.

Each course contributes grade points (e.g. A=4.0, B+=3.3) multiplied by its credit hours to the total
Semester GPA = total quality points divided by total credit hours attempted that semester
Optional cumulative update: enter your current cumulative GPA and total completed credits to see how this semester changes your overall GPA
A strong semester can significantly boost a lower cumulative GPA, especially early in college when fewer credits are completed

Track your semester GPA each term to monitor academic progress and plan which courses to prioritize.

You can also calculate changes using our College GPA Calculator, Weighted GPA Calculator, CGPA Calculator or Grade Average Calculator.
