Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the exact mathematical formula for GPA?
GPA is calculated as: Total Grade Points / Total Credit Hours. Total grade points for a course equal Grade Points × Course Credits. Sum all course points and divide by total credits taken.
What is the difference between GPA and CGPA?
GPA (Grade Point Average) typically measures your academic performance in a single specific term or semester. CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average) measures your overall weighted standing across all completed semesters in your degree program.
Do Pass/Fail or Withdrawn courses count toward GPA?
Generally, courses taken on a Pass/Fail basis or marked as Withdrawn (W) earn credits but are excluded from the GPA mathematical calculation. Do not include zero-credit courses in the calculator.
Are my academic grades saved on ToolNovus?
