How your result is calculated
- Semester GPA = sum of index points (grade weight × semester hours) for A+ through D-, E, IF and F ÷ sum of the corresponding semester hours; P, N, I, PI, SI, W, WF, WN, WU, IN, IU, AU and NS are not included.
- A non-repeatable course may be taken up to three times; for a repeated course (same course and same grade mode) only the most recent grade is included in the cumulative GPA.
- Transfer credits from other colleges can fulfil degree requirements but cannot be used to remove Purdue grades from GPA calculations.
- A grade of E can be improved to no higher than D by completing special requirements by the end of another semester; the D then replaces the E in future GPAs.
- An incomplete (I) not resolved within one year becomes IF, which counts as a failing grade; PI and SI become IN and IU, which do not affect the GPA.
- Pass/not-pass: grades A+ through C- are reported as passed; the course is not used in computing the GPA. The option may not exceed 20 percent of the credit hours required for graduation.
- A minimum cumulative GPA of 2.00 is required for graduation.

Questions
How is Purdue Semester GPA calculated?
Semester GPA is the average of your grade points weighted by credit hours: multiply each course's credit hours by the grade point for your grade, add these up, and divide by the total credit hours. Under Grades and scholastic indexes (2026–27 University Catalog), A+ carries 4 grade points on a 4-point scale.
How is Purdue Cumulative GPA calculated?
Cumulative GPA is the average of the grade points of all courses taken so far, weighted by credit hours.
Is OpenCGPA an official Purdue calculator?
No. OpenCGPA is independent and not affiliated with Purdue University. It applies the rules published in Purdue's own documents, linked on this page. Your official result is the one on your grade card.
