Formula

GPA = Σ(grade points × credits) ÷ Σcredits

Example

An A (4.0 × 3cr) + B+ (3.3 × 4cr) = 25.2 points ÷ 7 credits = 3.60 GPA.

How the 4.0 scale maps grades

Standard conversion runs A=4.0, A−=3.7, B+=3.3, B=3.0, down through F=0. Weighted high-school scales award 5.0 for AP/IB courses to reward rigor.

Cumulative vs semester GPA

To fold a new semester into your cumulative GPA, combine total quality points and total credits across all terms — averaging the GPAs themselves gives wrong answers when credits differ.

Frequently asked questions

Is a 3.5 GPA good?

Context matters — for most programs 3.5 sits comfortably above average and clears common honors thresholds.

Do pass/fail courses count?

Typically no — they carry credits but not grade points; exclude them from the calculation.
