GPA calculator
Cumulative GPA
GPA for all courses completed at ASU. Calculated by dividing your Total Grade Points by your total number of Graded Units (credit hours).
Grade Point Value
Each letter grade is assigned a numeric value, rounded to the hundredths place.
Grade | Value |
---|---|
A+ |
4.33* |
A |
4.00 |
A- |
3.67 |
B+ |
3.33 |
B |
3.00 |
B- |
2.67 |
C+ |
2.33 |
C |
2.00 |
D |
1.00 |
E |
0.00 |
Notes: Other grades (W, X, Y, etc.) are not included in the GPA calculation. Grades E1, E2, E3, E4, E5, and E8 are equivalent to an E.
*Although the plus/minus scale includes a grade of “A+” with a value of 4.33, the cumulative GPA is capped at 4.00. Questions about the grade scales may be referred to the University Registrar's Office at registrar@asu.edu.
Graded Units
Credit hours earned for which one of the following grades is assigned: A+, A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C, D or E. Other grades do not carry grade points (e.g. I, P, W, X, Y, Z).
Grade Points
This number is calculated by multiplying the grade point value by the number of graded units (credit hours) for a course.
For example—let’s say you completed an art class and you received a letter grade of “A”:
Grade point value of “A” = 4.00
Graded units (credit hours) = 3
Grade points = 12.00 (4.00 x 3)
Total Grade Points (TGP)
The sum of all the grade points you've earned while at ASU. To calculate your TGP, first multiply the grade point value by the number of graded units (credit hours) for each course you've taken. This will give you the grade points for each course. Then, add all the grade points.
For example, you've completed your first semester at ASU and these are your grades:
Course | Graded Units |
Grade (value) |
Grade Points |
---|---|---|---|
MAT117 | 3 | B+ (3.33) | 9.99 |
THE100 | 3 | A (4.00) | 12.00 |
ENG101 | 3 | B (3.00) | 9.00 |
HST103 | 3 | C+ (2.33) | 6.99 |
FMS100 | 3 | A- (3.67) | 11.01 |
Total Grade Points | 48.99 |

For 100 and 200 level course repetition, the student's academic record will reflect:
- Both grades received in the course on the student's transcript,
and - Only the highest grade received in the course in the student's grade point average.
300 and 400 Level Courses
For 300 and 400 level course repetition, the student's academic record will reflect:
- Both grades received in the course on the transcript,
and - Both grades received in the course in the student's grade point average.
Students Newly Admitted Fall 2008 and After
Students are permitted to repeat up to 12 hours and the following will apply:
- For 100, 200, 300 and 400 level course repetition the student's academic record will reflect:
- Both grades received in the course on the student's transcript,
and - Only the highest grade received in the course in the student's cumulative grade point average.
All courses taken repeated beyond the 12 hour limit the following will apply:
- For 100, 200, 300 and 400 level course repetition the student's academic record will reflect:
- Both grades received in the course on the student's transcript,
