What does this tool do?
A cumulative GPA target depends on the credits already earned and the credits still to come. This calculator solves for the next-term GPA required and shows the best GPA still achievable with a 4.0 term.
The Formula
Needed GPA = (Target × Total credits − Current GPA × Earned credits) ÷ New creditsFrequently Asked Questions
Can I raise my GPA in one term?
It depends on how many credits you already have. More earned credits make the cumulative GPA harder to move, while a larger upcoming credit load gives the new grades more influence.
What if the needed GPA is above 4.0?
A 4.0 term is the usual maximum, so the target is not reachable in one term on that scale. A longer plan or grade replacement may still make it possible.
