Click here for the Overall GPA Calculator

Overview This program will allow you to input the credits for each grade relevant to a specific set of courses, a major, or a minor. It will then calculate your current GPA in those courses. By inputting a goal GPA and the total number of relevant credits you plan to take it will calculate what you would need to achieve in those courses to reach your goal GPA (yellow). Courses taken since May 2005 (top) are calculated separately from prior courses (bottom) due to different grading scales.
