Mastering Your Cumulative GPA

A cumulative GPA is the running weighted average of your entire academic record. With the defaults — a 3.5 GPA across 60 credits — adding a 3-credit A semester gives 12 new grade points, producing a new cumulative GPA of (3.5 × 60 + 12) ÷ 63 = 3.524.

GPA Inertia

The more credits you have completed, the less any single semester moves your average. A perfect 4.0 semester of 15 credits only lifts a 60-credit, 3.0 GPA to about 3.20. This is why strategic effort matters: prioritize the highest-credit courses, where each grade point carries the most weight.
