Find the minimum GPA required in future courses to reach your target GPA.
This calculator figures out what GPA you need in your remaining credits to reach a target overall GPA, based on your current GPA and credits completed so far. Useful for planning how hard you need to work this semester to hit a specific academic goal.
Example: with a current GPA of 3.0 and a target GPA of 3.5, this tool tells you exactly what average grade you'd need across your remaining credits to get there.
Grade Point Average is a standardized measure of academic achievement. Each letter grade is assigned a numerical value, multiplied by credit hours, and divided by total credits. Most institutions use a 4.0 scale where A = 4.0.
A+ = 4.3, A = 4.0, A- = 3.7, B+ = 3.3, B = 3.0, B- = 2.7, C+ = 2.3, C = 2.0, C- = 1.7, D+ = 1.3, D = 1.0, D- = 0.7, F = 0.0. Verify the specific scale used by your institution.
Semester GPA reflects one term's performance. Cumulative GPA reflects all completed semesters. The GPA Planning section shows what grades you need in upcoming courses to reach your target cumulative GPA.
GPA is used by employers, graduate programs, and scholarship committees as an indicator of academic performance. Many graduate programs require a minimum GPA, and academic honors like Dean's List are GPA-based.
