The GPA Calculator makes it fast and easy to calculate your estimated GPA for the semester or cumulative GPA for what you have earned.

1. To calculate your semester GPA:

• Get a list of your courses for this semester (eg. MATH0080, ENGL1301).
• Put the second digit of the course numbers for each of the courses (eg. MATH1414 has four credit hours ) in the first column of boxes labeled "# of Credit Hours". Keep in mind that all development courses are worth 3 credits hours (eg. MATH0090, READ0080, ENGL0071).
• In the "Letter Grade" column, put the actual or anticipated grade (A,B,C,D,F) for each course.
• Click "Compute" on the bottom to get your GPA for the semester.

2. To calculate your cumulative GPA:

• Leave the values for the “current semester” alone and go to the “cumulative GPA section".
• Enter the # of credit hours your cumulative GPA represents and put that number in the “QHRS” box.
• Next, enter your cumulative GPA prior to the “current semester” in the GPA. Click “Compute”.
• This will give you your current cumulative GPA in the bottom box.
