How semester GPA works

A semester GPA is a weighted average, not a simple one: a 4-credit B+ moves your average more than a 1-credit A. That is why the formula multiplies grade points by credits before dividing — see the step-by-step in how to calculate GPA.

To see what this term does to your overall record, use the cumulative GPA calculator. To plan backwards from a goal, try the target GPA calculator.

Semester GPA questions

What is a semester GPA?

Your grade point average for a single term: the credit-weighted average of that semester's (or quarter's) grades only, ignoring every other term.

How is semester GPA calculated?

For each course, multiply the grade points (A = 4.0, B+ = 3.3, and so on) by the credits, sum the products, and divide by the semester's total credits.

Do non-credit or pass/fail courses count?

Usually not. Pass/fail and audit courses are normally excluded from GPA at most institutions, though a fail under a pass/fail scheme can count at some schools — check your catalogue.

Can I use this for a quarter or trimester?

Yes. The maths is identical for any single term: just enter that term's courses and credits.
