Common questions
How does a weighted GPA work?
Multiply each course's grade points by its credits, add those products and divide by total credits.
Does A+ give more than 4.0?
No. This tool uses a 4.0 maximum. Some schools use different values, so check your academic policy.
Does this calculate cumulative GPA?
It calculates the GPA from the courses entered. For cumulative GPA, enter all applicable courses and credits.
