Understanding the Broward GPA Calculator

Whether you are attending Broward College or navigating the Broward County Public Schools system, maintaining a healthy Grade Point Average (GPA) is critical for academic success, financial aid eligibility, and future university admissions. This Broward GPA Calculator is designed to help students estimate their semester performance and project their cumulative GPA based on the standard 4.0 grading scale used by Florida institutions.

How is GPA Calculated?

The Grade Point Average is a weighted average that represents your academic performance. The calculation involves two main components: Credit Hours and Quality Points.

The formula used in this calculator is:

GPA = Total Quality Points / Total Credit Hours Attempted

The Grading Scale

Most Broward institutions utilize a standard 4.0 scale to assign Quality Points to letter grades. This calculator uses the following values:

  • A = 4 Quality Points
  • B = 3 Quality Points
  • C = 2 Quality Points
  • D = 1 Quality Point
  • F = 0 Quality Points

Note: While some specific programs or high school advanced placement (AP/Honors) courses may offer weighted points (e.g., 5.0 for an A), this tool calculates the standard unweighted GPA common for college transcripts and financial aid Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP).

Why Calculate Your Cumulative GPA?

Your Semester GPA reflects your performance in a single term, but your Cumulative GPA is the average of all grades earned throughout your academic career. Knowing your cumulative GPA is essential for:

  • Financial Aid: Maintaining SAP (usually a 2.0 or higher) is required to keep Pell Grants and loans.
  • Transfer Requirements: Universities often have strict GPA cutoffs for transfer students coming from Broward College.
  • Academic Probation: Falling below a certain threshold can result in probation or suspension.

How to Use This Tool

  1. Enter Current Standing (Optional): If you are a returning student, input your current cumulative GPA and total credits earned so far. This allows the calculator to merge your old grades with your new semester grades.
  2. Input Semester Courses: For each class you are taking this term, enter the number of credit hours (typically 3 or 4) and your expected or received letter grade.
  3. Calculate: Click the button to see your GPA for the semester and your new projected cumulative GPA.
