College GPA Calculatorv1.0.0

Calculate your cumulative college GPA in real time as you enter coursework. Add each course with the semester it was taken, the credit hours it carries, and the letter grade earned or expected. The calculator handles plus and minus grades, Pass and No Pass marks, Withdrawals, Incompletes, and International Baccalaureate Diploma scores, and it adapts to the grading scale your registrar uses.

• Click Add Rows to insert blank rows, then fill in Semester, Course, Credit Hours, and Grade for each class.
• Open Advanced Settings to choose the USA, Whole-Letter, or International Baccalaureate scale, set the A+ policy to 4.3 or 4.0, and toggle honors or AP/IB weighting.
• Enable semester grouping to view per-semester GPA and surface every detected semester as a quick reference list.
• Turn on Major GPA tracking and check In Major on each course that counts toward your declared major to monitor that subset separately.
• Use the What-If scenario to enter a target GPA and see how many additional credit hours at the top grade point value you need to reach it.
• Import a transcript by pasting CSV or JSON, or export your data for advising appointments and graduate school applications.
• Credit hours accept fractions (3/4), mixed numbers (1 1/2 or 1-1/2), decimals (3.0), and scientific notation. Currency and percent symbols are stripped automatically.

The calculator applies these rules:

• Compute quality points per course as Grade Points multiplied by Credit Hours.
• Compute cumulative GPA as Total Quality Points divided by Credits Counted.
• Exclude Pass, No Pass, Withdrawal, and Incomplete from GPA. Count Pass toward earned credits.
• Apply Honors (plus 0.5) or AP/IB HL (plus 1.0) before multiplying by credit hours when weighting is enabled.
• Respect the selected A+ policy when mapping letter grades to grade points.

Plan undergraduate coursework, evaluate academic standing, and prepare applications with outputs that reflect how registrars, advisors, and admissions committees actually compute GPA. Map every input directly to common transcript fields and confirm results against your university's grading policy.

• First-semester freshmen: Enter four 3-credit courses with grades of A, B+, B, and A- to see how your first cumulative college GPA shapes up before midterms.
• Dean's List planning: Group by semester and watch the per-semester GPA to confirm whether your current grades clear the 3.50 threshold that most colleges use for Dean's List recognition.
• Latin honors tracking: Monitor cumulative GPA against Cum Laude (3.50), Magna Cum Laude (3.70), and Summa Cum Laude (3.90) cutoffs as you accumulate credits across four years.
• Pre-med and pre-law applicants: Toggle Major GPA tracking, mark biology, chemistry, and prerequisite courses as In Major, and review the separate science or pre-law GPA admissions committees often weigh more heavily.
• Graduate school admissions: Export JSON or CSV to share with letter writers or paste verified totals into application portals that require self-reported GPA.
• Academic probation recovery: Set a target GPA in What-If mode and see the minimum additional credit hours at the top grade point value required to climb above your school's good-standing line.
• Scholarship renewal: Confirm cumulative GPA against the threshold listed in your award letter (commonly 3.0, 3.25, or 3.5) and rerun calculations after each semester.
• Transfer credit modeling: Add prospective transfer courses, mark them as honors or AP/IB HL when applicable, and project how transcript credit will move your GPA at the receiving institution.
• International Baccalaureate Diploma converts: Choose the IB scale, customize the 1 to 7 mapping to match your university's conversion table, and recompute on the receiving school's scale.

Align outputs with your school by choosing the correct grading scale, A+ policy, and weighting rules before relying on results for advising, transcripts, or applications. When a registrar publishes a different conversion, use the Customize IB mapping dialog or adjust the A+ policy accordingly.
