This calculator uses a weighted average based on credit hours. Each course contributes to the term GPA according to its credit value and grade points.
Courses marked as P, W, I, or unchecked are excluded from GPA by default, but they remain visible in the output table for transparent review.
Term GPA accuracy depends on clean course inputs and consistent grading assumptions. Each class should include a final letter grade, official credit hours, and inclusion status. Weighted GPA means a four credit course influences the result more than a one credit lab. This calculator separates attempted credits from counted credits, so users can review exclusions clearly. That distinction helps advisors explain why transcript totals and GPA totals sometimes differ across systems accurately.
Quality points are the core measurement behind semester GPA calculations. The calculator multiplies each course credit value by its grade points, then sums those values across counted courses. For example, three credits at 4.0 contribute 12.0 quality points, while one credit at 3.3 contributes 3.3. Users can inspect course level quality points in the results table, which improves transparency and supports verification before academic advising meetings or audits for students and staff.
Institutions often treat P, W, and I differently from standard letter grades. This calculator supports those symbols and excludes them from GPA by default while still displaying them in reports. That approach mirrors common registrar practices and reduces accidental overstatement of performance. Users can also switch grading scales or define custom mappings, which is useful when schools use 4.33 systems, modified plus minus rules, or localized conversion policies across programs and campuses.
A term GPA result becomes more useful when paired with planning metrics. The calculator reports counted credits, attempted credits, passed credits, and courses counted, allowing students to evaluate workload balance and performance concentration. If GPA is lower than a target, the course table helps identify where quality points dropped most. Students can test scenarios by changing grades or credits, then compare outcomes before registration, tutoring sessions, or scholarship reviews and intervention planning.
Export tools reduce manual work during advising and record preparation. After calculation, the CSV option provides a structured file for spreadsheets, progress trackers, or department reports. The PDF option produces a clean summary with metrics and course details that can be shared during meetings. Keeping a dated GPA report for every term helps students monitor trends, verify scholarship thresholds, and document academic recovery progress with confidence and consistency for future advising continuity.
By default, P, W, and I are shown in the table but excluded from GPA. NP is treated as zero grade points unless your custom grading map changes it.
Yes. Choose the custom grade map option and enter your institution's letter-to-points values. The calculator then applies those values to all course rows.
Attempted credits include all listed courses. Counted credits include only courses marked for GPA and grades that carry numeric points, so exclusions reduce the counted total.
Grade points are the numeric value of a letter grade, such as 3.7. Quality points are grade points multiplied by course credits.
Yes. Use CSV for spreadsheet analysis and PDF for a printable summary. Both exports include key metrics and course-level calculation details after you run the calculator.
