Frequently Asked Questions
GPA = Σ(grade points × credit hours) / Σ(credit hours). Multiply each course grade point by its credit hours, sum all of those, then divide by total credit hours. This is a weighted average where higher-credit courses count more.
Most US universities use a 4.0 scale: A=4.0, B=3.0, C=2.0, D=1.0, F=0.0. Pluses and minuses typically add or subtract 0.3–0.7 points. A 4.0 GPA is a perfect average of all As.
Requirements vary by school. Generally: Dean's List requires 3.5+, Cum Laude requires 3.5+, Magna Cum Laude 3.7+, Summa Cum Laude 3.9+. Graduate programs often require a 3.0 GPA to remain in good standing.
3.5+ is generally considered excellent and qualifies for most honor societies. 3.0–3.4 is good (B average). 2.5–2.9 is satisfactory. Below 2.0 (C average) may put you on academic probation at many schools.
Semester GPA covers only the current term. Cumulative GPA covers all semesters combined. Graduate schools, scholarships, and employers typically look at cumulative GPA.
Yes, but the impact depends on how many credits you have completed. With 30 earned credits and a 2.5 GPA, earning all As in a 15-credit semester can raise your GPA to about 2.83. Earlier semesters have more 'weight' because more credits are already locked in.
