Cumulative GPA Calculator

A Semester GPA only reflects your academic performance for a single, specific term. Your Cumulative GPA is the overall, weighted average of all your grades across your entire academic history at an institution.

To calculate it manually, multiply the grade point value of each course (A=4.0) by the number of credit hours for that course to get your 'quality points'. Add all quality points from every semester together, and divide by the total number of credit hours you have attempted.
