Add your course grades and credit hours. Keep your school's scale in view.
Example scores. Replace them with yours. Include only courses that count toward your GPA.
UT Austin uses plus/minus grade points. Check the selected scale against your transcript.
Quality points are the more exact input when the displayed GPA has already been rounded. Do not include these same credits again in the course rows.
These are future credits beyond the courses and earlier record entered above.
Multiply each course's grade points by its credit hours. Add those quality points, then divide by the total GPA credit hours.
GPA = total quality points ÷ GPA credit hours
In the UT Austin example, an A in a three-credit class earns 12 quality points. A B+ in another three-credit class earns 9.99, and an A- in a two-credit class earns 7.34. The total is 29.33 across eight credits: a GPA of 3.66625, displayed as 3.67.
Change the term name on any course to group several semesters. The totals still weight each course by its credits; they do not average semester GPAs equally.
Use GPA hours, which may differ from credits earned toward graduation. A passed pass/fail class may earn graduation credit without contributing grade points. A failing grade may still count. Your institution decides.
Uncheck “Include in GPA” for excluded courses. Repeated-course and transfer rules differ, so select the attempts your transcript includes. The selected scale gives each letter its grade points. Your transcript decides which courses count.
To combine an earlier record, open Include your earlier GPA. For a goal beyond the entered courses, open target GPA. If the required future average exceeds the selected maximum, the goal is out of reach over those credits.
