1. What is Future GPA Calculation?

The Future GPA calculation estimates your new cumulative GPA after adding additional courses and their anticipated grades to your current academic record.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the Future GPA formula:

Where:

• \( Current\ Grade\ Points \) — Your current total grade points
• \( Current\ Credits \) — Your current total credits completed
• \( New\ Grade\ Points \) — Anticipated grade points from new courses
• \( New\ Credits \) — Total credits from new courses

Explanation: The equation combines your current academic record with projected future performance to estimate your new cumulative GPA.

3. Importance of GPA Calculation

Details: Calculating future GPA helps with academic planning, setting realistic goals, and understanding the impact of upcoming courses on your overall academic standing.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your current total grade points and credits, then enter the anticipated grade points and credits for your new courses. All values must be positive numbers.

Q4: How accurate is this calculator?
A: It's mathematically precise for the inputs provided, but depends on accurate estimates of future grades.

Q5: What if I'm repeating a course?
