Semester GPA Calculator: Calculate Your Semester Grade

Learn how to calculate your semester GPA and track your academic progress each term.

What is Semester GPA?

Semester GPA is your grade point average for a single academic semester (typically fall or spring). It represents your academic performance during that specific term and is calculated by averaging the grade points of all courses taken during that semester, weighted by their credit hours.

How to Calculate Semester GPA

Follow these steps:

  1. List all courses taken during the semester
  2. Identify the grade received in each course
  3. Convert each grade to its grade point value
  4. Multiply each grade point by the course's credit hours
  5. Sum all weighted grade points
  6. Divide by the total credit hours for the semester
Semester GPA = Σ(Grade Points × Credit Hours) ÷ Σ(Credit Hours)

Example Calculation
