How Your GPA Is Calculated

Your GPA is calculated by multiplying each course's semester-hour value by the grade points earned in that course, then adding the grade points from all courses and dividing by the total semester hours attempted.

If you repeat the same course, only the highest grade earned becomes your official grade for that course and is the one calculated into your GPA. Your first grade stays on your transcript of record but is removed from the GPA calculation and from total credits earned. Repeating the same course three or more times may result in higher tuition and fees.

How do I convert semester GPA to cumulative GPA at Del Mar College?
Your cumulative GPA is the credit-weighted average of your semester GPAs across every semester: (semester GPA₁ × credits₁ + … + semester GPAₙ × creditsₙ) ÷ (credits₁ + … + creditsₙ). Save each semester to the tracker on this page, by course or as a quick semester GPA + credits entry, and it works out your cumulative GPA on every save, edit and delete.
Is this Del Mar College GPA calculator free, and is my data private?
Yes. GPAWise is free, with no signup, and your courses and saved semesters stay in your browser: nothing is sent to our servers. "Clear all tracker data" on the tracker wipes them at any time.
