What is the difference between Semester GPA and Cumulative GPA?

Semester GPA represents grades from a single term. Cumulative GPA represents the overall average across all terms at the institution.

How do I calculate GPA from course grades?

If you have individual course grades, use our GPA Calculator which takes credit hours and letter grades to calculate GPA directly.

Most schools replace the old grade with the new grade. Some schools average them. Consult your registrar's policy.

Transfer credits usually count toward graduation but do not affect your GPA calculation at your new institution.
