GPA Calculator
This calculator is for estimation purposes only. Your actual GPA calculations appear
in your SOAR account. See below for instructions on how to calculate your GPA.
Example:
Follow these steps:
- Compute the total number of credits attempted for the semester - Example = 16 Credits
Attempted
- Compute the total number of points for each course: Multiply the credits for each
course x the points for each course grade - Example: BUS 101 = 3 credits x 4 points
(A grade) = 12 total Quality Points
- Divide the total number of Quality Points for the semester by / the total number of
Credits Attempted for the semester - Example = 42 Quality Points / 16 Credits Attempted
= 2.625 Semester G.P.A.
- Cumulative G.P.A. (all semesters) is calculated by dividing the total number of Credits
Attempted at Southern Miss by the total number of Quality Points earned at Southern
Miss.
