How to use it
Enter your cumulative GPA and total credits from previous terms, then add this term's courses with their grades and credit hours. The calculator blends them into your new overall GPA.
Formula
Cumulative GPA = (current GPA × credits + Σ grade points × credits) ÷ (credits + Σ credits)Examples
Example: Current GPA 3.2 over 48 credits. This term you earn an A (4.0) in 4 credits and a B (3.0) in 3 credits. New GPA = (3.2×48 + 16 + 9) ÷ 55 = (153.6 + 25) ÷ 55 = 3.25.
Frequently asked questions
What is a cumulative GPA?
It's your overall GPA across every course and term you've completed, weighted by credit hours.
How do I raise my cumulative GPA?
Earn higher grades in future courses — the more credits you've already taken, the slower the average moves.
Do repeated courses affect cumulative GPA?
It depends on your school's grade replacement policy. Many colleges average both attempts, others replace the first.
