Frequently Asked Questions

GPA = Total Quality Points ÷ Total Credit Hours. Quality points = grade points × credit hours for each course. Example: an A (4.0) in a 3-credit course = 12 quality points. Add all quality points, divide by total credits.
The standard US scale: 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. Some schools use a 4.3 or 5.0 scale for honors/AP courses.
For most colleges: 3.5+ is considered excellent, 3.0–3.4 is good, 2.5–2.9 is average. For graduate school, most programs want 3.0 minimum, competitive programs want 3.5+. For employment, many companies only consider GPA for entry-level positions within 2–3 years of graduation.
Semester GPA covers only the current term. Cumulative GPA covers all semesters combined. Admissions, scholarships, and graduation honors typically use cumulative GPA. A strong semester GPA can raise a lower cumulative GPA over time.
