Examples - College GPA Calculator

In this example, we will calculate CGPA (cumulative grade point average)

Suppose we choose A+/A/A- grading system.

Let our CGPA = 3.00 and Total Credit = 75

We also suppose that we take 4 courses. Let three of them are new courses and one of them is repeated course. Suppose all courses we take are 3 credit courses.

Let grades of new courses are the following: A, B+, C- . And let new grade of repeated course is A- and old grade of repeated course is F.

Then we should fill the Grades table as the following:

Grade of Course 1 is A. There is no old grade of Course 1, so omit this part.

Grade of Course 2 is B+. There is no old grade of Course 2, so omit this part.

Grade of Course 3 is C-. There is no old grade of Course 3, so omit this part.

Grade of Course 4 is A-. Old grade of Course 4 is F.


If we fill these grades, credits, CGPA and total credit, we get GPA = 3.18, CGPA = 3.13
