How it works

Enter your current GPA and total credits completed.
Enter your target GPA and how many future credits you'll take.
See the GPA you need in those future courses.

Formula

Required GPA = (target × total credits − current × prior credits) ÷ future credits

Example: 3.2 GPA over 60 credits, want 3.5 with 15 more credits → need 4.70 (impossible on a 4.0 scale). Want 3.4 with 30 more credits → need 3.80. Letter cut-offs use the unrounded result.
