Cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA) refers to the overall GPA, which includes dividing the number of quality points earned in all courses attempted by the total degree-credit hours in all courses attempted in which a grade of "A", "B", "C", "D", "F" or "WF" has been received.

Hello!

Calculating your GPA isnt a very easy question. Some people add .3 for pluses, and subtract .3 for minuses! However, if you are asking the overall, EXACT, ORIGINAL way then this is how you would calculate!

Bella has 6 classes. She got:

Math=B

Physical Education= B

History=A

Chemistry=C

Literature=B

Tech.= B

When adding your GPA:

A=4

B=3

C=2

D=1

F=0

So we add up Bella's points for her grades, and her point value adds up to 18. If you do not understand from this point on, read over this again, and try to calculate.

So because she has 6 classes, she must divide her number of points, by her number of classes! She has 18 points, and six classes. 18 divided by 6 is 3! So sarah has a 3.0!

An overall grade point average or GPA is the cumulative grade that a college student has made for a specified period. An overall GPA can be for a semester, a year, or for a whole program.

I had a 4.0 GPA in my first 8 months at college and one class brought me to a 3.5 GPA. Is it true that even if I get straight As from here on out til I graduate I can NEVER get that 4.0 back?

You will get it back as a semester GPA but never for your cumulative GPA. Let's say you get all A's next semester....you will have a 4.0 GPA for that semester but your cumulative GPA will be different. I suggest shooting for the highest grades possible because even though you won't get your 4.0 cumulative GPA back, you will raise your GPA above a 3.5.Also, do not be so down on yourself. A 3.5 GPA is still pretty good and after you graduate and start looking for jobs, GPA doesn't really matter at all. Get involved with clubs and honor societies....employers love that!

What is the difference between GPA and cumulative GPA?

Cumulative GPA is the Overall Graduate Average point in the entire stage of a specific major while the University or college divide them into semesters or years.This GPA is due to the result of ALL courses ( Major and non-Major). While, Major GPA is the Graduate Average point of the Major courses and the Major Elective one, while GER courses and GER Electives are excluded from that domain.
