INSTRUCTIONS

This calculator accepts letter grades with either upper or lower case.
(i.e. A, b, C, d, F)

If you are taking a class
that is .5 credit you need
to enter it as 0.5 credit.

Current Semester
To calculate estimated
GPA for the current semester, enter anticipated grade and total credits for each course for up to six courses, and press the button marked “Calculate Estimated Current
Semester GPA”. 

“Repeat?” column is
ignored in this calculation

Cumulative
To calculate estimated
effect of the current semester on your
cumulative GPA, also enter your cumulative GPA and total credits for semesters prior to the current semester, and then press the button marked “Calculate Estimated Cumulative GPA”. 

Because of round off uncertainties, any result which relies upon a precision of +/-3 in the second decimal place should be checked by hand (e.g. if one needs to be certain whether it is 2.999
or 3.0).

REPEATED COURSES: 
If any class in the current semester is a repeat of a course in which an earlier grade has been earned, the old grade for that course must be entered in the rightmost column in order
for cumulative GPA to be properly computed.

Use “Reset All” to clear
and restart. Use “Create Printable Report” to take
you to a page showing
your results which can be printed easier.  You must first calculate the Current Semester GPA to use the print feature.  If you calculate the Cum GPA before printing, that will be on the report as well.
