How to Calculate a College GPA Online

Your college grade point average, typically referred to as GPA, measures your academic progress and current standing. Monitoring your GPA helps you avoid academic penalties for poor performance or track your goals toward qualifying for a fellowship or research opportunities. Institutions calculate your GPA in different ways; some weigh quality points based on the degree of a course's difficulty, while some operate on a 4.3 scale. Still, others use a traditional 4.0 scale.
