GPA Predictor

Planning ahead: see what your GPA will become based on grades you haven't earned yet. Enter your current standing, set a target, and find the average you need going forward.

You need at least a 3.94 GPA across your next 15 credits to reach 3.80.

How to use the GPA Predictor

The predictor works backward from a goal: tell it where you stand today and where you want to end up, and it solves for the average grade you need across your remaining credits.

  1. 1

    Enter your current credits and quality points

    If you've saved a semester on the main GPA Calculator, these fields fill in automatically. Otherwise, pull both numbers from your unofficial transcript, or calculate them fresh on the GPA Calculator first.

  2. 2

    Set your target GPA

    This can be a scholarship threshold, a Dean's List cutoff, or a grad-school minimum — whatever number you're working toward.

  3. 3

    Enter how many credits you have left

    Count only the credits you're planning to complete before the target needs to be met — a single semester, or everything left until graduation.

  4. 4

    Read the required average

    The result updates instantly as you edit any field. If it's above 4.0, the target isn't reachable in that many credits — try a lower target or add more remaining credits.

Worked example

With 14 credits and 51.1 quality points earned so far (a 3.65 GPA), targeting a 3.80 GPA across 15 more credits: 3.80 × (14 + 15) − 51.1 = 59.1 quality points still needed, divided by 15 remaining credits is a 3.94 average — reachable, but it takes mostly A's from here.

Frequently asked questions

Enter the credits and quality points you've already earned, set a target GPA, and choose how many credits you have left. The predictor solves for the average grade you'd need across those remaining credits to land on your target.

If you've saved a semester on the GPA Calculator, the predictor loads those totals automatically. Otherwise, they're on your unofficial transcript, or you can calculate them fresh on the main calculator first.

That means the target isn't mathematically reachable within the remaining credits you entered — try a lower target, or add more remaining credits to spread the improvement over a longer stretch.

Yes — set your target GPA to whatever threshold your scholarship, Dean's List, or program requires, and the predictor shows exactly what average you need going forward. Confirm the exact threshold with your institution first, since these vary.
