How to use the GPA Calculator

The GPA calculator was designed to provide a calculation of your GPA based on the Oregon State University grading system. It is NOT an official record of your grades.

To use the GPA calculator:

  1. Enter the course number (e.g. MTH 245) in the Course field. This field is optional and can be used to keep track of your entries—it is not used in the calculation.
  2. Enter the grade and number of credits for each course in the appropriate fields.
  3. Click on the P/N, S, T Course box if the course is a Pass/No Pass, Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory, or Transfer course.*
  4. Click on the Group or Major box to determine a GPA for a select group of courses (e.g., courses that are in your major or a selected group.)

The calculator automatically shows your GPA at the bottom of the form as well as total quality points. You can reset the fields by clicking on the Reset button. To add or delet a row, click on the Add a Row or Remove a Row button.

*P and S classes do not figure into your GPA. To figure how taking a course as P/N may affect your grade point, check the Pass/No Pass box.
