How credit-weighted GPA is calculated
For each course you pick a letter grade — A+/A (4.0), A- (3.7), B+ (3.3), B (3.0) and so on down to F (0.0) — and enter its credit hours. The tool multiplies each grade point by its credits, sums them, and divides by total credits. So an A (4.0, 3 credits) plus a B (3.0, 4 credits) gives (12+12)/7 = 3.43. Higher-credit courses move your average more.
Academic standing labels
The result card shows a color-coded standing based on your GPA: 3.5 and above is Honors / Distinction, 3.0–3.49 is Good Standing, 2.0–2.99 is Satisfactory, and below 2.0 flags Academic Probation. These thresholds mirror the tiers many universities use, giving you a fast reference when setting end-of-term goals. Add or remove as many courses as you need and copy the final number with one click.
