Frequently Asked Questions
What is a cumulative GPA?
Cumulative GPA is your overall grade point average that includes all courses you've completed across multiple semesters or terms. It combines your previous GPA with new course grades to give you an updated overall academic standing.
How do I calculate my cumulative GPA?
To calculate cumulative GPA: (1) Multiply your previous GPA by previous credits to get quality points, (2) Calculate quality points for new courses (grade points × credits), (3) Add all quality points together, (4) Divide total quality points by total credits.
What's the difference between semester GPA and cumulative GPA?
Semester GPA only includes courses from a single semester, while cumulative GPA includes all courses from your entire academic career. Your cumulative GPA gives a more complete picture of your overall academic performance.
Can I improve my cumulative GPA?
Yes! As you complete more courses with higher grades, your cumulative GPA will improve. The impact of new courses depends on how many credits you've already completed - early in your academic career, each course has a bigger impact on your cumulative GPA.
