Grade Point Average (GPA) Calculator

Purpose

You may use this calculator to determine what your term GPA could be for a term in which grades have not been given. You need to project your anticipated grades.This calculator may also be useful for determining a cumulative GPA for a specific set of courses; for example, all courses within a department or major.

How to use this calculator

To calculate a GPA from individual course grades, enter in the credit value of each course in the first column and the letter grade (e.g., A-, C+) in the second column.  The calculator will automatically figure grade points for you.  After you have entered all the courses you wish to calculate the GPA for, simply click on the 'Compute' button in the bottom row.

  2. Write down the computed "Total # of Semester Credits" and "Total Grade Points."
  3. Log in to the secured area of S.W.I.S. and look up your Academic Transcript.
  4. Find the Cumulative Term Totals on your S.W.I.S. unofficial transcript.
  5. Add the calculator's Total Grade Points to the Cumulative Quality Points total on your S.W.I.S. transcript.
  6. Add the calculator's Total Semester Credits to the Cumulative GPA Hours total on your S.W.I.S. transcript.
  7. Divide your total points (step 5) by total credits (step 6) and you will find a projected cumulative GPA.

NOTE: The University of Indianapolis reports GPA to 3 decimal points, and the GPA is truncated rather than rounded.  For example, a GPA calculation of 3.2167 will be reported as an official GPA of  3.216.
