How Fordham calculates your GPA
Fordham's Grade Point Average (quality point index) is a cumulative, credit-weighted average: each course's numerical grade equivalent is multiplied by its credits (quality points), the products are summed, and the total is divided by the total credits attempted for a regular letter grade (quality hours). The result is computed to three digits beyond the decimal point.
- Courses taken Pass/Fail are excluded entirely from quality hours and do not affect the GPA. Undergraduates may take one elective course per academic year on a Pass/Fail basis (not permitted for core, major, or minor requirements).
- A grade of W (approved withdrawal) carries no academic penalty and is not counted toward quality hours.
- A grade of WF (withdrawal failure — dropping a course without dean's-office approval, or withdrawing after the deadline) is treated as the numerical equivalent of an F and is counted toward quality hours, unlike W.

Frequently asked questions
Can I save my semesters and track my CGPA at Fordham University?
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 Fordham University?
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 Fordham University GPA calculator free?
Yes — GPAWise is completely free to use. There's no signup, no paywall, and your inputs stay in your browser.
