What is GPA?

Grade Point Average is a standardized measure of academic achievement. Each letter grade is assigned a numerical value, multiplied by credit hours, and divided by total credits. Most institutions use a 4.0 scale where A = 4.0.

Letter Grades and Point Values

A+ = 4.3, A = 4.0, A- = 3.7, B+ = 3.3, B = 3.0, B- = 2.7, C+ = 2.3, C = 2.0, C- = 1.7, D+ = 1.3, D = 1.0, D- = 0.7, F = 0.0. Verify the specific scale used by your institution.

Semester vs Cumulative GPA

Semester GPA reflects one term's performance. Cumulative GPA reflects all completed semesters. The GPA Planning section shows what grades you need in upcoming courses to reach your target cumulative GPA.

Why GPA Matters

GPA is used by employers, graduate programs, and scholarship committees as an indicator of academic performance. Many graduate programs require a minimum GPA, and academic honors like Dean's List are GPA-based.
