GPA Calculator FAQ

What is a good GPA?▾
On a 4.0 scale, a GPA of 3.0 (B average) is generally considered good. A GPA of 3.5 or above is very good, and 3.7 or higher is often considered excellent. Requirements vary by school and program.
How is GPA calculated?▾
Multiply each course grade point (A=4, B=3, C=2, D=1, F=0) by its credit hours. Add all the results together, then divide by the total number of credit hours.
Can I calculate my cumulative GPA?▾
The calculator computes GPA from all the courses you enter. To approximate a cumulative GPA, add all courses from every semester you want to include. There is no separate field for a previous cumulative GPA.
What GPA do I need for the Dean's List?▾
Most colleges require a semester GPA of 3.5 or higher for the Dean's List, though the exact requirement varies by institution. Check your school's specific policy.
