Gpa Calculator Syracuse

Understanding and maintaining your Grade Point Average (GPA) is crucial for academic success at Syracuse University. Your GPA reflects your overall academic performance and can impact everything from scholarships and academic standing to graduate school applications and career opportunities. This calculator is designed specifically for Syracuse University students, incorporating the university's standard grading scale to help you accurately determine your GPA.

How Syracuse University Calculates GPA

Syracuse University uses a standard 4.0 grading scale. Each letter grade is assigned a specific number of grade points, which are then used in conjunction with credit hours to calculate your GPA. Here's the breakdown of grade points:

• A: 4.00
• A-: 3.67
• B+: 3.33
• B: 3.00
• B-: 2.67
• C+: 2.33
• C: 2.00
• C-: 1.67
• D: 1.00
• F: 0.00

To calculate your GPA, the grade points for each course are multiplied by the number of credit hours for that course. These "total grade points" are then summed up, and the sum is divided by the total number of credit hours attempted. This calculator automates that process for you.

Example Calculation for Syracuse GPA

Let's say a Syracuse student takes the following courses in a semester:

• Course A: 3 Credits, Grade B+
• Course B: 4 Credits, Grade A-
• Course C: 3 Credits, Grade C
• Course D: 1 Credit, Grade A

Here's how the GPA would be calculated:

1. Course A: 3 Credits * 3.33 (for B+) = 9.99 Grade Points
2. Course B: 4 Credits * 3.67 (for A-) = 14.68 Grade Points
3. Course C: 3 Credits * 2.00 (for C) = 6.00 Grade Points
4. Course D: 1 Credit * 4.00 (for A) = 4.00 Grade Points

Total Grade Points: 9.99 + 14.68 + 6.00 + 4.00 = 34.67

Total Credit Hours: 3 + 4 + 3 + 1 = 11

GPA: 34.67 / 11 = 3.15 (rounded to two decimal places)

Using the calculator above, you can quickly input these values and verify the result.
