Formula
Each course contributes grade points weighted by credits, and optional cumulative data updates overall GPA.
Worked Example
Calculating Your Semester GPA
- 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.
