How to use this result

Planning toward a cumulative GPA

Current GPA multiplied by current credits gives existing quality points. The planner works backward from your target and planned future credits to find the future GPA required.

Example

A target may be unreachable within the planned credits if the required future GPA exceeds your school's maximum.

Before relying on it

Use your institution's grade scale and rules for repeats, withdrawals, and pass/fail courses.
