Agento StudioGPA Calculator for College Students
GPA is a credit-weighted average of your grades. Learn how it works below, then get the Agento Studio app to calculate your semester or cumulative GPA.
Calculate your GPA in the app
We no longer offer a calculator on this website. Get the Agento Studio app for Windows to calculate your GPA as you enter your marks, next to your Moodle assignments and attendance.
How GPA is calculated
GPA is a credit-weighted average, not a simple average of your grades. Each letter grade is converted to grade points, multiplied by the course's credit hours to get quality points, and the total is divided by the total credit hours.
(4.0 × 3 + 3.0 × 4) ÷ (3 + 4) = 24 ÷ 7 = 3.43
That is why a bad grade in a 1-credit seminar moves your GPA far less than the same grade in a 4-credit lab.
Standard 4.0 grade scale
| Letter | Grade points | Letter | Grade points |
|---|---|---|---|
| A+ / A | 4.0 | C | 2.0 |
| A- | 3.7 | C- | 1.7 |
| B+ | 3.3 | D+ | 1.3 |
| B | 3.0 | D | 1.0 |
| B- | 2.7 | D- / F | 0.7 / 0.0 |
| C+ | 2.3 |
This is the most common unweighted scale. Some schools give an A+ 4.3, or do not use plus and minus grades at all, so always check your registrar's policy before relying on any calculator.
Semester GPA vs. cumulative GPA
Semester GPA uses only the courses from one term. Cumulative GPA uses every course you have taken. To get your cumulative GPA, enter all your courses from all terms into the app, or combine the two figures yourself:
- Pass/fail courses are usually left out of GPA, even though their credits may still count toward graduation.
- Repeated courses are handled differently at each school: some replace the old grade, others average both.
- Weighted GPA (extra points for honors or AP) is mostly a high-school concept. The Agento Studio app uses the unweighted scale.
Keep your grades and your Moodle deadlines together
If your university uses Moodle, your marks, deadlines and attendance are spread across different course pages. Agento Studio is a Windows app that connects to your own Moodle account and shows assignments, due dates, attendance and quizzes in one view, with a GPA calculator built in so you can type your marks as you receive them.
Check any calculated GPA against your university's official grading rules before using it for scholarships or applications.
Your Moodle assignments, attendance and GPA in one place
Agento Studio is a Windows student planner for Moodle: deadlines, attendance, quiz reminders, a daily study plan, a GPA calculator, a title page maker and a document converter.
Agento Studio is an independent app and is not affiliated with Moodle.
Frequently asked questions
How do I calculate my GPA?
Convert each letter grade to grade points, multiply by the course's credit hours, add everything up and divide by the total credit hours. The Agento Studio app does this for you.
What is the difference between weighted and unweighted GPA?
Unweighted GPA uses the standard 4.0 scale. Weighted GPA gives extra points for honors or AP courses, mostly in high school. The Agento Studio app uses the unweighted scale.
Do pass/fail courses count toward GPA?
Usually not. Pass/fail courses are normally excluded from GPA, although the credits may count toward your degree. Your registrar's policy decides.
Does Agento Studio have a GPA calculator too?
Yes. Agento Studio includes a GPA calculator that updates as you type your marks, next to your Moodle assignments and attendance. It uses a fixed grading scale, so compare the result with your university's rules.
