How to Use the College GPA Calculator
The College GPA Calculator is designed specifically for university students who need to track their academic progress across multiple semesters and calculate their cumulative Grade Point Average. This advanced calculator allows you to either start fresh with new calculations or update your existing GPA by adding new semester data. Simply organize your courses by semester, enter the course names, credit hours, and letter grades, then click calculate to see your comprehensive academic overview including semester GPAs, cumulative GPA, and total credits earned.
🎓 Comprehensive College Example:
Student with existing GPA adding Fall 2024 semester:
Current Standing: 3.2 GPA with 45 credits earned
| Fall 2024 Course | Credits | Grade | Points | Quality Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Organic Chemistry | 4 | B+ (3.3) | 3.3 | 13.2 |
| Calculus II | 3 | A- (3.7) | 3.7 | 11.1 |
| Psychology 101 | 3 | A (4.0) | 4.0 | 12.0 |
| English Composition | 3 | B (3.0) | 3.0 | 9.0 |
New Calculation: Previous Quality Points (144.0) + New Quality Points (45.3) = 189.3 total
Total Credits: 45 + 13 = 58 credits
New Cumulative GPA: 189.3 ÷ 58 = 3.26
