Cumulative GPA calculator
Your cumulative GPA is the average of all your courses so far. Each course counts by its credits.
Start with your current GPA and the credits you earned. Then add the courses you take now, or the courses you plan to take.
The result shows your new cumulative GPA. Use it to test a goal before the term ends.

How a cumulative GPA works
The old courses count as one block. The size of the block is your earned credits. The value of the block is your current GPA.
The new courses are a second block. The calculator joins the two blocks and divides by all the credits.
You do not need the grade of each old course. Your current GPA and your earned credits are enough.
Test a goal
Type the grades you hope to get. Then change them to lower grades and compare the two results.
The more credits you have, the less a new term moves your GPA. A small change needs many good grades.
A worked example
Your current GPA is 3.20 in 60 credits. That is 192 quality points.
You take Physics, Literature, Spanish. The grades are B+, A-, B. They give 33.3 quality points in 10 credits.
New cumulative GPA: (192 + 33.3) / 70 = 3.22.
Questions
Can I find my cumulative GPA without my old grades?
Yes. Type your current GPA and the credits you earned. The calculator does not need the grade of each old course.
How can I raise my cumulative GPA?
Earn higher grades in your next courses. Use the calculator to test different grades and see the new result.
Why does my GPA move less each term?
Your old credits are a larger part of the total. A course of 3 credits is a small part of 90 credits, but a large part of 15 credits.
What GPA do I type for my earlier courses?
Type the GPA from your latest transcript. Use the credits earned that the same transcript shows. Do not count courses that you still take.
