Calculate the GPA you need in future courses to reach your desired GPA.
How It Works
The tool uses a simple formula to calculate the GPA you need in your next course to reach your desired overall GPA. Here’s the breakdown:
- Multiply your desired GPA by the total credit hours you’ll have after completing your next course.
- Subtract the total quality points you’ve earned so far (current GPA × completed credit hours).
- Divide the result by the credit hours of your next course (assumed to be 1 in this case).
Voilà! You’ve got the GPA you need to aim for. It’s like a math problem, but way more fun because it’s about your future.

| Current GPA | Completed Credit Hours | Desired GPA | Required GPA in Next Course |

| 3.0 | 30 | 3.5 | 4.0 |
| 2.5 | 45 | 3.0 | 3.5 |
