How to Calculate Your Grade Point Average (GPA) Your grade point average (GPA) is calculated by dividing the total amount of grade points earned by the total amount of credit hours attempted. Your grade point average may range from 0.0 to a 4.0.

For example:

A = 4.00 grade points A- = 3.70 grade points B+ = 3.33 grade points B = 3.00 grade points B- = 2.70 grade points C+ = 2.30 grade points C = 2.00 grade points C- = 1.70 grade points D+ = 1.30 grade points D = 1.00 grade points D- = 0.70 grade points WF/F=0 grade points P/NP (Pass/No Pass) courses are not factored in the student's GPA I (Incompletes) and W (Withdrawals) do not receive grade points and do not have an effect on the GPA

GRADE POINT AVERAGES

To get the example student's GPA, the total grade points are divided by the total credit hours attempted.

You can total your current semester courses and credits with our online GPA Calculator (above).

To calculate AP or Honors courses: When taking AP (advanced placement) or honors courses, grade points are generally weighted.

For example, a half point (.50) is added for honors courses, and a whole point (1.0) is added for AP courses (A then equals 4.50 for an Honors class, or 5.00 for an Advanced Placement class).

To calculate your cumulative G.P.A., total the credit hours and then the grade points from all semesters.

Divide the total grade points by the total credit hours. You can also use this online tool.

If you want to raise your GPA, an additional calculator helps you determine how many credit hours and what grade average you will need to raise your current GPA.
