What does this tool do?
A simple semester average treats each course equally, regardless of credit value. Enter four final course percentages to see the mean, the highest and lowest results and a common letter band.
The Formula
Semester average = (Course 1 + Course 2 + Course 3 + Course 4) ÷ 4Frequently Asked Questions
Does this account for course credits?
No. It is a simple average of four course percentages. A 2-credit course and a 4-credit course have the same influence here, so use a weighted calculation when credits differ.
How do I turn this average into a GPA?
Use the percentage-to-GPA converter, or apply your school’s letter-grade table. GPA conversion is not a single universal formula.
