1. Gather your transcripts from each year of study.
2. Find your GPA for each year. Your GPA is calculated by dividing the total number of grade points you have earned by the total number of credits you have taken.
3. Multiply each year's GPA by the number of credits you took that year.
4. Add up the results from step 3.
5. Divide the sum from step 4 by the total number of credits you have taken.
The result is your cumulative GPA.
Here is an example:
Year 1
GPA: 3.5
Credits: 30
GPA x Credits: 105
Year 2
GPA: 3.8
Credits: 33
GPA x Credits: 125.4
Year 3
GPA: 3.9
Credits: 36
GPA x Credits: 140.4
Year 4
GPA: 4.0
Credits: 30
GPA x Credits: 120
Cumulative GPA
(105 + 125.4 + 140.4 + 120) / 129 = 3.89
Your cumulative GPA for a 4-year degree is 3.89.
