What is a Semester GPA?
Your semester GPA is the GPA you earn in one single semester. Not your overall GPA. Not your total college GPA. Just the grades from this current term.
How Does the Semester GPA Formula Work?
Your semester GPA is calculated by dividing your total grade points by your total credit hours.
Each grade you get (A, B, C etc.) has a grade point value. You multiply that value by the credit hours of that course. Do that for every course. Add them all up. Then divide by total credits. That’s your semester GPA.
How to Use the Semester GPA Calculator
Just follow the following steps to use our calculator:
- Enter your course name (optional, just for your reference)
- Select your grade from the dropdown (A+, A, B+, B and so on)
- Enter the credit hours of that course
- Click on “Add Course” to add more courses
- Click “Calculate GPA” and get your result instantly
Example
Suppose John is a second-year student. He has 5 courses this semester.
| Course Name | Grade Points | Credits |
|---|---|---|
| Biology | A (4.0) | 3 |
| Math | B+ (3.3) | 4 |
| English | A- (3.7) | 3 |
| Physics | B (3.0) | 4 |
| History | A (4.0) | 2 |
He enters all these in the calculator and clicks Calculate.
