01 / YOUR COURSES
Multiply each included course’s grade points by its credits, add those quality points, then divide by the included credits. Check your institution’s rules for repeats, transfers and ungraded courses.
Counting course grades equally can give the wrong result when their credit values differ.
A 4-credit A at 4.0 contributes 16 quality points. A 2-credit B at 3.0 contributes 6. Together: 22 ÷ 6 = 3.67, rounded—not the simple average of 3.50.
A course without a grade is not evidence of an earned F. Treating both as zero changes the average.
This calculator excludes blank grades. An included 3-credit F adds 3 GPA credits and 0 quality points. Check the treatment of pass/fail and ungraded courses before entering them.
A new term joins the earlier eligible work; it does not automatically replace it.
With 30 credits at 3.00, another 15 credits at 4.00 gives (90 + 60) ÷ 45 = 3.33, rounded. Use the CGPA calculator to keep the terms together.

Active Recall vs. Rereading: Which Study Method Actually Works?Active recall (self-testing) beats passive rereading and highlighting for long-term retention, backed by research — see the comparison and how to build it in.A 4-credit course at 4.0 and a 2-credit course at 3.0 produce 22 quality points across 6 credits: 22 ÷ 6 = 3.67.
Exclude an ungraded course from an earned GPA. Include a real F at zero points when your institution counts it.
