3.32 GPA
Select Try the example in the form to load these values and calculate them again. This replaces the current form inputs. Compare the result with the method and worked explanation below.
The method, explained
Combined GPA = (old GPA × old credits + term GPA × new credits)/(old credits + new credits).
Using existing gpa = 3.2, existing graded credits = 60, term gpa = 3.8, new graded credits = 15, the result is 3.32 GPA. Change these example inputs to match your task; use the method above to check each step.
What to keep in mind
Repeated-course replacement and excluded credits are not modeled. Check the grading or scheduling rules used by your institution. The stated mathematical convention may differ from its policy.
