Frequently asked questions
What is semester GPA?
Semester GPA is the credit-weighted average of your grade points for a single term. It reflects only that semester’s courses, not your whole transcript.
How is semester GPA calculated?
Multiply each course’s grade points by its credit hours, add them up, and divide by the semester’s total credit hours.
How is semester GPA different from cumulative GPA?
Semester GPA covers one term; cumulative GPA averages every completed term together. A strong semester can pull up a lower cumulative GPA over time.
