How GPA is Calculated
GPA (Grade Point Average) is calculated by multiplying each course's letter grade points by its credit hours (quality points), summing all quality points, and dividing by total credit hours.
GPA = Σ(Grade Points × Credit Hours) ÷ Total Credit Hours

Frequently Asked Questions
What GPA do I need for graduate school?
Most graduate programmes require a minimum GPA of 3.0 (B average). Highly competitive programmes may expect 3.5 or above. Some schools also consider your GPA only in your major courses (major GPA).
How do I raise my GPA quickly?
Focus on higher credit-hour courses since they impact your GPA more. Retaking courses where you received a low grade (where your institution allows grade replacement) is one of the fastest ways to improve your GPA.
Is a 3.5 GPA considered good?
A 3.5 GPA (B+/A− range) is considered strong at most institutions. It typically qualifies for honours, merit scholarships, and competitive job applications. A 4.0 is a perfect GPA.
