GPA
Work out your weighted grade point average (GPA) from course grades and credits.
Weighted average = Σ(grade × credits) / Σ(credits).
Work out your weighted grade point average (GPA) from course grades and credits.
Weighted average = Σ(grade × credits) / Σ(credits).
Grade point average (GPA) is not a plain average — courses with more credits count more. That is why it is called weighted.
For each course you multiply the grade by its credits, add up the products and divide by the total credits. A 6-credit course influences the result twice as much as a 3-credit one.
Add as many courses as you like with their grades and credits and see your overall average.
A plain average ignores credits. A weighted GPA gives more weight to courses with more credit hours.
Enter the same number of credits (e.g. 1) for every course — the result then matches a plain average.
Yes, as long as you use the same scale for all courses (e.g. 0–10 or 0–4).
