Enter grades and credit hours for up to five courses to calculate your grade point average on a standard 4.0 scale.
GPA is the weighted average of your grade points, weighted by the number of credit hours each course is worth — so a 4-credit A counts more than a 1-credit A.
The standard 4.0 scale is the most common in the US, but some schools use a 5.0 scale for honors/AP courses or different grade-point mappings — check your school's official scale for exact figures.
Courses with more credit hours are weighted more heavily in the GPA calculation, since they represent more coursework.
