The method, explained

Combined GPA = (old GPA × old credits + term GPA × new credits)/(old credits + new credits).

A WORKED EXAMPLE

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.
