The calculator needs JavaScript. The tables below give the same numbers for common cases.
How it is worked out
- Previous quality points = 3.2 × 60 = 192.
- Cumulative GPA = (previous points + this term's 45.3) ÷ (60 + 13) = 3.25.

How to use it
Your cumulative GPA is all quality points divided by all credits. The calculator takes your current GPA and credits, adds this term's courses (letter grade and credits per line) and shows the new cumulative GPA, this term's GPA and the change.
It uses the common 4.0 scale; your college's official scale and rules (including repeated courses) decide your transcript GPA.
