How is GPA calculated on a 4.0 scale?

GPA is calculated by multiplying each course's credit hours by the grade point value (A=4.0, B=3.0, C=2.0, D=1.0, F=0), summing the total grade points, and dividing by total credit hours taken.

What is the difference between Semester GPA and Cumulative CGPA?

Semester GPA calculates academic performance across a single academic term. Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) calculates overall performance across all completed semesters.

How do weighted Honors / AP grades work?

Weighted GPA scales grant an extra 0.5 points for Honors classes (e.g. A=4.5) and an extra 1.0 point for Advanced Placement (AP) or International Baccalaureate (IB) courses (e.g. A=5.0).
