GPA Calculator β€” Semester & Cumulative GPA with Target Tracker

What is your GPA and what do you need?

What This Does

Calculate your semester GPA from course grades and credit hours, update your cumulative GPA, and find out exactly what average you need in future semesters to hit your target. Weighted GPA β€” which factors in credit hours β€” is what actually appears on your transcript. A 4-credit A counts more than a 3-credit A. This calculator weights every course correctly and lets you see the full picture: semester GPA, new cumulative GPA, and your honors standing. The target GPA tool answers the question students actually need answered: given your current cumulative GPA and the credits you have remaining, what average do you need each semester to finish at 3.5, 3.7, or any other target? The math changes dramatically based on how far along you are β€” a junior with 90 credits needs a much higher average going forward than a freshman with 15. Use this before each semester to set realistic academic goals.

When Should You Use This?
  • β†’Computing your semester GPA after entering grades for each course
  • β†’Tracking whether you qualify for Dean's List, cum laude, or academic probation
  • β†’Finding out the minimum GPA needed to maintain a scholarship or program requirement
  • β†’Planning which courses to retake or prioritize to hit a target cumulative GPA
  • β†’Checking how a single poor grade will affect your cumulative GPA
Example Scenario

You're a junior with a 3.22 cumulative GPA over 85 credits. This semester you earned: A in English (3 cr), B+ in Math (4 cr), A- in History (3 cr), and B in Chemistry (4 cr). Enter these grades and credits, input your prior GPA and credit count. Result: semester GPA 3.53, new cumulative GPA 3.27. To reach 3.5 by graduation, you'd need a 4.0 average over the remaining ~30 credits.
