See how one term changes your overall GPA

Cumulative GPA is a weighted average: your prior GPA times your prior credits, plus this term's GPA times this term's credits, all divided by the combined credits. The more credits you've already banked, the harder it is for any single term to move the needle - which is exactly why planning ahead matters.

Frequently asked questions

What is cumulative GPA?

Cumulative GPA is your overall grade point average across every term you've completed, weighted by the credit hours in each term. It's the number on your transcript.

How do I raise my cumulative GPA?

Because cumulative GPA is credit-weighted, a single strong term moves it less the more credits you've already completed. Use this tool to see the realistic impact before you set a goal.

Is semester GPA the same as cumulative GPA?

No. Semester (or term) GPA covers just one term. Cumulative GPA blends all of your terms together. This calculator adds one term to your running total.
