What this means
Each term is weighted by its credits, so a heavy term moves the cumulative GPA more than a light one.
Your cumulative GPA is the total grade points (GPA × credits) divided by total credits. This tool merges your history with a new term.
Formula
cumulative = (oldGPA × oldCredits + newGPA × newCredits) ÷ (oldCredits + newCredits)
