The GPA calculator computes your Grade Point Average by weighing your grades by credit hours. This is the standard measure of academic performance in colleges and universities, crucial for scholarships, graduate school applications, and academic standing.
Enter each course's grade point (typically 0-4.0 scale where A=4.0) and credit hours. The calculator weighs each grade by credits and provides your overall GPA.
Understanding your GPA helps you track academic progress, set improvement goals, determine eligibility for honors or programs, and make informed decisions about course selection and study priorities.
