Enter your current GPA and new courses, then press Calculate.

Formula

Cumulative GPA = (prior GPA × prior credits + new quality points) ÷ (prior + new credits)

Your prior record contributes prior GPA × prior credits quality points; new courses add their own. The cumulative GPA is the combined points divided by combined credits.

Example calculation

Prior: 3.20 GPA × 45 cr = 144.00 pts

New: 4 cr × A- (3.7) + 3 cr × B+ (3.3) = 24.70 pts

168.70 points ÷ 52 credits

= 3.24 cumulative GPA

Assumptions

  • Uses the standard 4.0 scale (A=4.0, A-=3.7, …).
  • Prior GPA is treated as exact; round your transcript value if needed.
  • Pass/fail and non-GPA marks should not be entered.
  • Final value is rounded half-up to 2 decimals.

Important notes

  • If your school caps cumulative GPA (e.g. 4.0), the cap is applied.
  • For repeated courses, use your university preset on the semester calculator for exact rules.

Frequently asked questions

Where do I find my current GPA and credits?

On your unofficial transcript or student portal — usually listed as cumulative GPA and cumulative earned credits.

Do I include pass/fail courses?

No. Pass/fail courses don’t carry grade points, so leave them out of both the course list and prior credits.

Can this show GPA improvement?

Yes — the result shows your new cumulative GPA plus the change (+/−) versus your prior GPA.

What if I don’t know my exact prior GPA?

Use the value shown on your transcript rounded to two decimals — the estimate will be very close.
