What is a GPA? GPA (Grade Point Average) is a numerical summary of a student's academic performance calculated by dividing the total grade points earned by the total credit hours attempted.
💡
Rule of Thumb
Most US universities use a 4.0 scale where A=4.0, B=3.0, C=2.0, D=1.0, F=0. A GPA of 3.5 or higher is typically required for Dean's List recognition. Graduate school admissions generally require a minimum GPA of 3.0.
📊
Example Calculation
A student who earns an A (4.0) in a 3-credit course and a B (3.0) in a 4-credit course has a GPA of (4.0x3 + 3.0x4) / (3+4) = 24/7 = 3.43.
Key Facts
- •A cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher is typically required to maintain academic good standing.
- •Many graduate programs, scholarships, and honor societies require a minimum 3.5 GPA.
- •One failed course (F = 0.0) in a standard semester can drop a 3.5 GPA by roughly 0.3-0.5 points.
How to Use
- Enter your grade on the 4.0 scale for each course (A=4.0, B=3.0, C=2.0, D=1.0, F=0).
