Please refer to your specific catalog year requirements to ensure you receive a correct audit.

There are 3 different GPA Calculators that students can utilize, Graduation Calculator, Term Calculator and Advice Calculator. These calculators are unofficial estimations and informational only.

Graduation Calculator

The Graduation Calculator option on the GPA Calculator tab will show what average you will need in your remaining credits to graduate with your desired GPA. Credits remaining can be determined by subtracting credits applied from credits required. This information can be found on your degree audit (Worksheet Tab) in the first information block and is labeled as "Unmet conditions for this set of requirements."

Term Calculator

The Term Calculator option will show an estimate of your cumulative GPA. Degree Works will pull in your current earned credits and GPA and place your in-progress courses in the table where you can then enter the anticipated grade for each course. You will then see a revised cumulative GPA based on the estimates you provided.

*Please Note*

  • Remedial courses are not counted toward your GPA. If you are in a remedial course you must delete it from the table to receive an accurate calculation.
  • Courses repeated more than once only have one grade (the highest earned) calculated into a GPA. If you are currently repeating a course your term calculation will not be accurate. You will see your updated GPA at the end of the semester.

Advice Calculator

The Advice Calculator option will show various credit and grade scenarios in order for you to achieve your desired cumulative GPA.

You should speak to your Academic Coach if you have questions about any outstanding degree requirements.
