The method, explained
GPA = sum(grade points × credits)/sum(credits).
Using grade points = 4,3,3.7, course credits = 3,4,2, the result is 3.48888889 GPA. Change these example inputs to match your task; use the method above to check each step.
Understanding your result
Pair each grade point with the corresponding course credits in the same position. Use your school’s grade-point scale; the result does not automatically convert letter grades.
What to keep in mind
Enter points using your institution’s scale; letter-grade mappings are not assumed. Check the grading or scheduling rules used by your institution. The stated mathematical convention may differ from its policy.
