How to Use the College GPA Calculator

The College GPA Calculator is a helpful tool designed to assist you in evaluating your academic performance across multiple semesters. Follow the step-by-step guide below to effectively use this tool.

Step 1: Enter the Number of Semesters

Begin by entering the total number of semesters for which you would like to calculate your GPA. The calculator allows you to input a number between 1 and 12. This input is mandatory to proceed further.

Step 2: Select the Grade Scale

Choose the grade scale that matches your academic program. You have two options: a 4.0 Scale (Standard US) or a 5.0 Scale (Advanced Placement). Selecting a grade scale is required to ensure correct GPA calculation.

Step 3: Input Course Grade

For each course you’ve taken during the semester, select the corresponding course grade from the dropdown menu. The options range from an A (4.0) to an F (0.0). This input is necessary for the GPA calculation.

Step 4: Enter Credit Hours

Provide the credit hours for each course. You need to enter a number between 1.0 and 6.0, which can include increments of 0.5. The credit hours are crucial as they affect the weight of the grade in the GPA calculation.

Viewing Your Results

  1. Semester GPA: After entering the necessary information for each course within a semester, the calculator computes your Semester GPA. It calculates by taking the weighted average of your grades based on credit hours.
  2. Cumulative GPA: This is the average GPA across all your semesters. It offers a comprehensive measure of your academic performance over time.
  3. Total Credit Hours: The calculator also provides the total credit hours you’ve completed, which is essential for understanding your progress toward degree completion.
  4. Academic Standing: An assessment of your academic standing is provided. If your GPA is 3.5 or higher, you’re placed on the Dean’s List. With a GPA of 2.0 or higher, you’ll be in Good Standing. Below 2.0, you will be noted as being in Academic Probation.

By following these steps, you can effectively use the College GPA Calculator to monitor and improve your academic trajectory.
