College GPA Calculator

Calculate a college GPA using credit hours and course grades. This page uses the same 4.0-scale engine as the main GPA calculator.

Your courses
Enter credits and a grade for each course.

Your grades stay in this browser tab while you use the calculator and are not sent to a server.

Choose at least one grade to calculate your GPA.

How it works

  1. Enter each college course and its credit hours.
  2. Choose the grade input mode that matches your transcript: letter, percent, or 4.0 points.
  3. The calculator converts each grade into grade points and multiplies by credits.
  4. It divides total quality points by total credits to estimate GPA.

Example calculation

If you earn A in a 4-credit class, B+ in a 3-credit class, and B in a 3-credit class, GPA is (4.0 x 4 + 3.3 x 3 + 3.0 x 3) / 10 = 3.49.

What this means

Credit-heavy college courses affect GPA more than low-credit courses. Use this estimate for planning, then treat your official transcript as the final source.

FAQ

Can this calculate semester and cumulative GPA?
Yes for any set of courses you enter. For combining old GPA with new courses, use the cumulative GPA calculator.
What if my college uses quarter credits?
Use the credits exactly as your transcript reports them. The weighted average formula still works.
Should withdrawals be included?
Usually no. Withdrawals typically do not count as GPA points, but school policies vary.
Does this handle graduate courses?
It can estimate GPA for any credit-hour course set, but graduate grading policies can differ by institution.
