How this is calculated
Divide the points earned by the points possible and multiply by 100: 6 ÷ 15 × 100 = 40%. On the common 10-point-band scale that lands in the F range — you'd have needed 14/15 to reach the A band.
Common questions
Why does my school's GPA differ from this one?
Schools differ on three things: whether A+ counts as 4.3 or 4.0, whether plus/minus grades are used at all, and whether honors/AP courses are weighted above 4.0. This calculator uses the most common unweighted convention (A+ = 4.0, minus/plus in 0.3 steps). Your registrar's number is the official one.
What GPA do I need for the Dean's List?
Most schools set Dean's List between 3.5 and 3.7 for the semester, with a minimum credit load (often 12+ graded credits). It's a semester GPA, not cumulative — one strong term can make the list even in a rebuilding year. Your school's exact cutoff will be published by the registrar.
