College GPA FAQs

College GPA is calculated by multiplying each course's grade points by its credit hours, summing all results, then dividing by the total number of credit hours. For example: an A (4.0) in a 3-credit course = 12 quality points.
A GPA of 3.0 or above is generally considered good. A 3.5+ is excellent and competitive for graduate school admissions and many scholarships. Employers typically look for a 3.0 minimum.
Semester GPA reflects only your performance in that single semester. Cumulative GPA averages your grades across all semesters you have completed. Your cumulative GPA is what appears on your official transcript.
At most colleges: Cum Laude requires 3.5+, Magna Cum Laude requires 3.7+, and Summa Cum Laude requires 3.9+. Exact cutoffs vary by institution.
In most US colleges, a W (withdrawal) does not count toward your GPA calculation — it simply shows on your transcript that you enrolled and withdrew.
