Formula
How the calculation works
Each course contributes its grade point multiplied by its credit hours, so a three credit course counts more than a two credit one.
Those weighted values are added to give the total points, and dividing by the sum of all credits gives the CGPA for the semester.
For credits 3, 3 and 2 with grade points 4.0, 3.5 and 3.0 the weighted total is 29.0 over 8 credits, a CGPA of 3.63.
Common mistakes
- Averaging the grade points without weighting by credits is wrong, because a high credit course must pull the CGPA more than a low credit one.
- Mixing courses from different semesters into one CGPA hides the semester figure your transcript needs, so keep each term separate.
When to use it
- Use it at the end of a semester to work out your CGPA from three courses and their credit hours.
- Use it to check how a low credit course with a weak grade changes your CGPA before you register for the next term.
Worked example
Courses with credits 3, 3 and 2 and grade points 4.0, 3.5 and 3.0 give a semester CGPA of 3.63.
Common questions
Why do credit hours matter in CGPA?
Credit hours are the weight of each course, so a three credit course with a strong grade raises the CGPA far more than a one or two credit course with the same grade.
