College GPA (Grade Point Average) converts your letter grades to a numerical scale. Each grade earns quality points based on the GPA scale. Your GPA is calculated by multiplying each course's grade points by its credit hours, summing these quality points, and dividing by total credit hours attempted.

A 3.0 (B average) is generally considered good, 3.5+ is excellent, and 3.7+ is exceptional. Requirements vary by major and career path—medical schools often expect 3.7+, while some employers just verify you graduated.
Typically no. Pass/fail (P/F) and satisfactory/unsatisfactory (S/U) grades usually don't factor into GPA calculations, though they do appear on your transcript.
Many colleges allow grade replacement where the new grade replaces the old one in GPA calculations. Policies vary—some average both attempts or only replace if the new grade is higher.
Semester GPA only includes courses from that specific term. Cumulative GPA includes all courses throughout your entire college career.
Some colleges use a 5.0 scale for honors, AP, or advanced courses where an A earns 5.0 points instead of 4.0. This rewards students for taking challenging coursework.
Requirements vary by institution, but Dean's List typically requires a semester GPA of 3.5 or higher while taking a full course load (usually 12+ credits).
