What does this tool do?
A cumulative GPA is a credit-weighted average of every course taken. This calculator combines your existing GPA and credits with a new term GPA and credit load.
The Formula
CGPA = (GPA₁ × Credits₁ + GPA₂ × Credits₂) ÷ (Credits₁ + Credits₂)Frequently Asked Questions
Does a new term change a cumulative GPA much?
The effect depends on the number of credits already completed. A 15-credit term has less influence after 90 credits than after 30.
How do transfer credits affect CGPA?
It depends on the institution. Some count transfer grades; others record only credit. Check your registrar’s rule.
