1. What is Final GPA Calculation?

The Final GPA calculation predicts your cumulative GPA based on your current GPA, completed credits, and projected performance in remaining coursework. It helps students plan their academic trajectory.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the weighted average formula:

\[ Final\ GPA = \frac{(Current\ GPA \times Current\ Credits + Projected\ GPA \times Remaining\ Credits)}{Total\ Credits} \]

Where:

\( Current\ GPA \) — Your current cumulative GPA
\( Current\ Credits \) — Total credits already completed
\( Projected\ GPA \) — Expected GPA for remaining courses
\( Remaining\ Credits \) — Credits for courses not yet taken
\( Total\ Credits \) — Sum of completed and remaining credits

Explanation: The formula calculates a weighted average where your current GPA is weighted by credits already earned, and your projected GPA is weighted by credits you plan to earn.

3. Importance of GPA Calculation

Details: Understanding how future performance affects your cumulative GPA helps with academic planning, setting realistic goals, and maintaining eligibility for scholarships or programs with GPA requirements.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your current cumulative GPA (0.0-4.0 scale), total credits already completed, expected GPA for remaining courses, and number of credits for those courses. All values must be non-negative.
