How this works
How the GPA calculator works
Each letter grade has a point value. An A is worth 4.0 points, a B is worth 3.0 points, and so on. Each class is also weighted by how many credits it is worth.
To calculate GPA, the calculator multiplies each class's credits by its grade value, adds those grade points together, and divides by your total credits.
Quick example
An A in a 3-credit class is 3 credits x 4.0, which equals 12 grade points. A semester GPA combines that same calculation across all of your classes.
