How to calculate GPA on a 4.0 scale
Multiply each course’s grade points by its credits, add the results, and divide by total GPA credits. For example, 3 credits at 4.0 plus 4 credits at 3.0 gives 24 quality points over 7 credits, or about 3.43.
Check your institution’s grading scale, GPA-eligible credits and retake rules before entering values. The UT Austin registrar’s calculator illustrates a credit-based system with its own institution-specific rules. Enter your official grade-point values directly.
Weighted GPA and GPA without credits
Credit weighting gives larger courses more influence. If you have no credits and each course counts equally, select Equal courses. For an honors or AP weighted GPA, enter the grade points your school assigns, using the 5.0 scale when it matches your policy.
Can I calculate GPA from percentages?
Use your school’s percentage-to-grade-point table first. Two schools can assign different grade points to the same percentage.
Semester vs. cumulative GPA
Semester GPA uses the courses entered here. For cumulative GPA, select credit-hour weighting and provide both your previous GPA and GPA credits on the same scale. If your previous GPA was rounded, your combined result is an estimate.
