How GPA is calculated
Each letter grade is worth grade points: A is 4.0, B is 3.0, C is 2.0, D is 1.0 and F is 0, with plus and minus grades in between. Multiply the grade points for each course by its credits to get quality points. Add them up and divide by the total credits.
Example: A (3 credits), B+ (4), B (3), A- (3) and C+ (2). Quality points are 49.90 over 15 credits, so the GPA is 49.90 / 15 = 3.33.
A course with more credits moves your GPA more. Getting a B in a 4-credit class costs more than a B in a 1-credit class.

| A | 4.0 | 93 to 96 |
| A- | 3.7 | 90 to 92 |
| B+ | 3.3 | 87 to 89 |

| B- | 2.7 | 80 to 82 |
| C+ | 2.3 | 77 to 79 |
| C | 2.0 | 73 to 76 |
| C- | 1.7 | 70 to 72 |
| D+ | 1.3 | 67 to 69 |
| D | 1.0 | 63 to 66 |
| D- | 0.7 | 60 to 62 |
| F | 0.0 | Below 60 |
Schools differ. Some count A+ as 4.3, and some do not use plus and minus grades at all. If your school publishes its own scale, use that. The GPA scale chart has more detail.
Semester GPA, cumulative GPA and major GPA
Enter one term to get a semester GPA. To combine terms, use the cumulative GPA calculator, which adds a new term to the GPA and credits you already have. For a GPA in your major, enter only the courses in your major.
