FAQ

What if I plan multiple terms?

Run the calculator separately for each planned block of credits. Use the output as the GPA target for the next term, then update your cumulative GPA and credits before the following term.

Do pass/fail courses count?

Most institutions exclude pass/fail credits from GPA calculations. Only include graded credits that affect your quality points.

How do repeated courses impact this?

If repeats replace the earlier grade, adjust your completed credits and GPA after the repeat to keep the projection accurate.
