Calculate your university GPA. Supports both 4.5 and 4.3 scales commonly used in Korean universities.
Choose between 4.5 and 4.3 scale based on your university's grading system.
Input course name, credits (1-3), and grade. Check P/F box to exclude from GPA calculation. Add more courses as needed.
Click Calculate to see your GPA, total credits, and grade distribution with evaluation.
Enter current GPA/credits and set target GPA to see what grade average you need in remaining semesters.
Track GPA after each semester to verify scholarship eligibility (e.g., 3.5+) and plan next semester's courses.
Set minimum graduation GPA as target and plan specific grade goals for remaining semesters.
Set required GPA for grad school admission and plan what grades you need in remaining semesters.
4.5 scale: A+=4.5, A0=4.0. 4.3 scale: A+=4.3, A0=4.0, with minus grades (A-, B-, C-). Check your university's regulations.
P/F courses are credited but excluded from GPA. Check the P/F box to automatically exclude them while counting toward total credits.
Yes, F=0.0 and affects GPA. Excluding them gives an artificially inflated result.
Retake policies vary by university. Some count only the retake, others average both. Check your university's policy.
Formula: (Target GPA x Total Credits - Current GPA x Current Credits) / Remaining Credits = Required GPA.
This calculator computes overall GPA only. For separate calculations, input each category separately and calculate twice.
GPA (Grade Point Average) is calculated by taking a weighted average of grades earned in university courses. It is computed by multiplying each course's credit hours by the grade points earned, summing those totals, and dividing by the total credits completed. For example, earning an A+ (4.5) in a 3-credit course adds 13.5 points, and dividing the total by all credits gives the GPA. For accurate results, P/F courses must be excluded and F grades must always be included.
Korean university grading systems fall into two main categories. The 4.5 scale calculates A+ as 4.5 and A0 as 4.0, and is used by most Korean universities. The 4.3 scale calculates A+ as 4.3, A0 as 4.0, and A- as 3.7, and includes minus (-) grades. The two systems differ in maximum score and grade division, so you must confirm which system your university uses. The 4.3 scale is similar to the American GPA system and allows for more granular grade distinctions.
For effective GPA management, it is important to set a target GPA each semester and manage it systematically. Aim for scholarship thresholds (typically 3.5 or above) and consider retaking courses where grades are low. If you are aiming for graduate school, maintaining a 3.7 or above is advantageous. Balancing challenging courses with relatively easier ones each semester helps with GPA management. Additionally, strategically using P/F courses allows you to focus on core major subjects.
