Frequently Asked Questions
Multiply each course grade (4.0 scale) by credit hours, sum these values, divide by total credits. Example: A (4.0) in 3-credit course + B (3.0) in 4-credit course: (4.0×3 + 3.0×4) / 7 = 24/7 = 3.43 GPA.
Add your new semester grade points to previous cumulative grade points, then divide by total cumulative credits. Example: Previous 3.5 GPA × 30 credits = 105 points. Add new semester 3.8 × 15 credits = 57 points. New cumulative: 162 / 45 = 3.6 GPA.
Yes, credit hours weight each course. A 4-credit A (16 grade points) affects GPA more than a 1-credit A (4 grade points). This is why labs and seminars have less impact than lecture courses.
It depends on your current GPA and credits. To raise a 3.0 cumulative GPA (60 credits) to 3.2: you need (3.2 × 75) - (3.0 × 60) = 60 grade points in the next 15 credits = 4.0 GPA (straight A's).
