How it works

Each letter grade maps to grade points: A = 4.0, B = 3.0, C = 2.0, D = 1.0, F = 0. The tool multiplies each course's grade points by its credit hours, adds those products together, and divides by your total credit hours to get the GPA.

Worth noting: a 4-credit course has roughly four times the weight of a 1-credit elective. Higher-credit courses are where the GPA actually moves.

FAQs

How is GPA calculated?

Take the grade points for each course (A = 4.0, B = 3.0, and so on), multiply by credit hours, add the results, and divide by total credit hours. That quotient is your GPA.

What is a good GPA?

A 3.0 is a solid B average. A 3.5 or above is generally considered strong, and 3.7 or above often qualifies as honors level, though the exact thresholds depend on your school and program.

Weighted vs unweighted GPA?

Unweighted GPA caps at 4.0 and treats all courses equally. Weighted GPA gives bonus points for honors and AP courses, often reaching a 5.0 maximum. This tool uses the standard unweighted 4.0 scale.

How do I raise my GPA?

Put effort into high-credit courses first, since they shift the average more. Where your school allows grade replacement, retaking a course with a low grade can help. New coursework is the primary lever.

Does this store my grades?
