Work out this semester's GPA from your courses and credits — then, if you know your GPA so far, see how this semester moves your overall college average.
Pick a letter grade for at least one course to see your semester GPA.
Enter your GPA so far and the credits it covers to fold this semester into your overall college GPA.
Fill in both fields above to see your cumulative GPA.
Your semester GPA covers only the courses you're taking right now. Your cumulative GPA covers every credit you've attempted in college so far — it moves slowly because a single semester is a small slice of your total credits.
That's why one bad semester barely dents a senior's GPA but hits a freshman's hard. Use the "previous college work" section above to see the combined effect before grades are final — it's the same weighted average your registrar calculates:
new cumulative GPA = (GPA so far × credits so far + this semester's quality points) ÷ (credits so far + this semester's credits)
Tip: most colleges count attempted credits, not earned ones — so a withdrawn (W) course usually doesn't affect your GPA, but a repeated course may replace or average with the original grade depending on your school's policy.
