Learn how to calculate your average GPA across multiple semesters and track your overall academic performance.
GPA average refers to your cumulative grade point average (CGPA), which is the overall average of all your grades across all semesters and years of study. It represents your total academic performance.
Your GPA average (cumulative GPA) is calculated by averaging all your semester GPAs, weighted by the number of credits in each semester.
GPA Average = Σ(Semester GPA × Semester Credits) ÷ Total Credits
| Semester | Semester GPA | Credits | Weighted GPA |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fall Year 1 | 3.5 | 15 | 52.5 |
| Spring Year 1 | 3.7 | 15 | 55.5 |
| Fall Year 2 | 3.4 | 16 | 54.4 |
| Total | 162.4 ÷ 46 = 3.53 | ||
