GPA Calculation, Repeats, and Attempt Limits
GPA is calculated by dividing grade points earned by credits attempted. GPA for graduation and honors purposes is calculated on all college-level coursework attempted at every college the student has attended, not just Broward College.
A course may be repeated to improve a grade only if the original grade was a D or F, up to two repeat attempts per course. Repeating a course removes the prior grade from the GPA calculation only — the original grade remains on the transcript, and only the most recent attempt's grade counts toward the degree GPA. Under the State's Articulation Agreement, courses may not be repeated to change GPA after an associate degree has already been awarded.
Each course is limited to three total attempts (original grade, repeats, withdrawals, and audits declared after the drop/add period); a fourth attempt requires a successful petition to the Academic Standards Committee for major extenuating circumstances.

Frequently asked questions
Can I save my semesters and track my CGPA at Broward College?
Yes. After you calculate a semester's GPA, click "Save as semester" to add it to the built-in CGPA tracker, which then computes your cumulative GPA across every saved semester using the standard weighted formula (Σ SGPA × credits ÷ Σ credits). You can save semesters by course (full breakdown) or quick-add a past semester with just the SGPA and credit hours. Locking, renaming, and deleting saved semesters are all supported, and the tracker shows a running CGPA plus a trend arrow versus your previous semester.
How do I convert SGPA to CGPA at Broward College?
Your CGPA is the credit-weighted average of every semester's SGPA. The formula is: CGPA = (SGPA₁ × credits₁ + SGPA₂ × credits₂ + … + SGPAₙ × creditsₙ) ÷ (credits₁ + credits₂ + … + creditsₙ). On this page, add each semester to the CGPA tracker (either by course or as a quick SGPA + credit-hours entry) and the calculator runs the conversion for you on every save, edit, and delete — no manual arithmetic required.
Can I add past semester GPAs without entering every course?
Yes. On the My CGPA Tracker tab, click "Add semester" and choose the quick-add option. You enter just the SGPA and the credit hours for that semester — no course-by-course breakdown required. It works as a GPA calculator with previous semesters support, or as a GPA calculator without course details when you only remember the SGPA from your transcript. Quick-added and course-by-course semesters can be mixed freely; both contribute to your CGPA using the same credit-weighted formula.
Is my CGPA tracker data sent to your servers?
No. Your saved semesters are stored locally in your browser only — nothing is transmitted to GPAWise. A "Clear all tracker data" button is always available on the tracker tab to wipe the data on demand.
Is this Broward College GPA calculator free?
Yes — GPAWise is completely free to use. There's no signup, no paywall, and your inputs stay in your browser.
