How this is calculated

Cumulative GPA is the credit-weighted mean of every grade you've ever earned:

cumulative GPA = (prior GPA × prior credits + this term's points) / (prior credits + this term's credits)

Letter → grade-point scale

  • A / A+ = 4.0, A− = 3.7
  • B+ = 3.3, B = 3.0, B− = 2.7
  • C+ = 2.3, C = 2.0, C− = 1.7
  • D+ = 1.3, D = 1.0, D− = 0.7
  • F = 0.0

Frequently asked

  • Semester GPA is just this term. Cumulative GPA weights every credit you've ever taken — so one bad semester is diluted by the rest.
