How the GPA is calculated
The University GPA is computed by dividing total grade points earned by grade-point hours attempted, truncating (not rounding) the result. Grade-point hours include credits graded A, AB, B, BC, C, CD, D, F, and X; an X (conditional) grade is computed into the GPA as an F. Incomplete (I) grades still outstanding at graduation are treated as F grades in the final GPA computation.

Minimum GPA for a degree
An undergraduate degree requires a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.00 and a minimum GPA of 2.00 in the student's major department. Any performance below a 2.00 GPA is considered a grade point deficiency.

How do I convert semester GPA to cumulative GPA at MTU?
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 MTU 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.
