GPA Calculator 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

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).

Related 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 cumulative GPA before printing, that will be on the report as well.

SWCC is an amazing place to begin your journey no matter what field you’re interested in. When I came to SWCC, I wasn’t sure what I really wanted to do but because of the staff and the work I’ve been provided with, I know exactly what I want to do! At Southwestern, you’re a name, not a number.

I choose SWCC because of the family environment it has. Being on the volleyball team also made me feel like I am part of a second family. The small class sizes also allowed me to have a better 1on1 connection with all my teachers.
