Add a course with credits and a grade to see your GPA.
Weighted by credits, which is what a transcript does: a four credit course moves your GPA four times as much as a one credit one. The scale here is the common United States four point one, where an A is 4.0 and an A minus is 3.7. Institutions differ, so check yours against the list in the grade menu.
Questions
- Is anything I type sent anywhere?
- No. Every tool here runs in the page itself. There is no server that receives your grades, your essay or your sources, and you can check it in your browser's network tab: using a tool produces no request carrying what you typed.
- Why is my GPA not the average of my grades?
- Because credits weight it. A one credit A and a four credit C average to a B if you ignore the credits, and that is not what a registrar calculates. Every course contributes its grade points multiplied by its credits, and the total is divided by the credits rather than by the number of courses.
- Which grade scale is this?
- The common United States four point scale, where an A and an A plus are both 4.0, an A minus is 3.7, a B plus is 3.3 and so on down to F at zero. The full mapping is in the grade menu. Institutions differ, some run to 4.3 for an A plus, so check yours against the list before trusting the number.
- Why will it not accept zero credits?
- Because a course worth zero credits contributes nothing to the total and nothing to the divisor, so it would silently vanish from the answer. Rather than drop the row quietly, the tool says the credits have to be more than zero and carries on with the rest.
- Can I use percentages instead of letters?
- Yes. Switch the scale and type percentages, and each one is converted on the usual bands: 93 and above is a 4.0, 90 is an A minus at 3.7, and so on. Those bands are common but not universal, so if your syllabus prints its own table, use that.
