How to use the GPA calculator
- Choose your university’s scale: out of 5 or out of 4.
- For each course, enter the credit hours and choose your grade. Add or remove courses as needed.
- To see your new cumulative GPA, enter your GPA so far and the hours you’ve completed.
The result shows your GPA to two decimal places and your overall rating.
