How GPA is Calculated
GPA (Grade Point Average) is calculated by multiplying each course's grade points by its credit hours, summing all those products, then dividing by total credit hours.
Formula: GPA = Σ(Grade Points × Credits) / Σ Credits
Standard Grade Scale (4.0)
A+/A = 4.0 | A- = 3.7 | B+ = 3.3 | B = 3.0 | B- = 2.7 | C+ = 2.3 | C = 2.0 | C- = 1.7 | D+ = 1.3 | D = 1.0 | D- = 0.7 | F = 0.0

3.5–4.0: Excellent (Dean's List). 3.0–3.4: Good. 2.5–2.9: Average. Below 2.0: Academic probation risk at most institutions.
FAQs
What is the maximum GPA?
On the standard 4.0 scale, 4.0 is perfect. Some schools use weighted scales (4.5 or 5.0) for honors/AP courses.
How do I calculate cumulative GPA?
Add all semesters' total quality points, divide by total credit hours across all semesters.
Does the number of credits matter?
Yes. A 4-credit course has more weight than a 1-credit course in your GPA calculation.
