Semester GPA vs cumulative GPA
Your semester (term) GPA reflects one term only. Your cumulative GPA is every term combined. A strong semester lifts your cumulative GPA, but by less as your total credits grow.
Why credits still matter within a term
Even in a single semester, a 4-credit course counts more than a 1-credit seminar. The calculator weights each grade by its credits rather than averaging the letters.
Dean’s list and probation
Many schools use term GPA — not cumulative — for Dean’s list or academic probation. Check the exact threshold your school uses; it’s usually a term figure.
