Make grade-point scales, excluded pass/fail credits, prior weighted points and honors/AP caps explicit. Test target feasibility without inventing an institutional conversion policy.
GPA Calculator inputs and calculations remain in browser memory. No external processing service receives entered values. Existing website infrastructure may log ordinary page requests; copying occurs only when selected.
Multiply each included grade-point value by its credit hours, sum those weighted points and divide by total included credits. An A at 4.0 over three credits and B at 3.0 over four credits gives 24/7 = approximately 3.43.
Prior GPA times prior GPA-bearing credits supplies prior weighted points. Add the new semester’s points and credits, then divide the combined totals. A prior 3.0 over 30 credits plus a 4.0 semester over 15 credits gives approximately 3.33.
Yes. Edit unique letter=points mappings and the base scale maximum, or enter numeric grade points. There is no universal percentage-to-GPA conversion or automatic institution-specific rule.
Weighting is off by default. When enabled, the selected bonus is added to the course’s base grade points and capped at your explicit maximum. A result above 4.0 is possible only when the configured scale or weighting permits it.
Rows marked excluded pass/fail contribute neither weighted points nor GPA-bearing credits. Excluded credits are reported separately. A semester with no GPA-bearing credits has undefined GPA and is rejected.
The calculator solves for the average grade points needed over the entered future credits. If that average exceeds the configured cap, the target is not reachable over that credit load. This is mathematical planning, not a promise of grades or an official transcript calculation.
