The method, explained

Required term GPA = [target × (old + new credits) − old GPA × old credits]/new credits.

A WORKED EXAMPLE

Using existing gpa = 3.2, existing credits = 60, next-term credits = 15, target cumulative gpa = 3.4, the result is 4.2 GPA. Change these example inputs to match your task; use the method above to check each step.

What to keep in mind

Compare the answer with your school’s maximum grade-point value; a target may be unattainable in one term. Check the grading or scheduling rules used by your institution. The stated mathematical convention may differ from its policy.
