How do I calculate my College GPA?

Multiply each course grade point by its credit hours, add the quality points together, then divide by the total attempted credits.

What is Semester GPA versus Cumulative GPA?

Semester GPA measures one term only, while Cumulative GPA combines all included semesters into a single overall average.

How does the 4.0 GPA Scale work?

Each letter grade is converted into grade points such as A = 4.0, B+ = 3.3, and F = 0.0, then weighted by credits.
