This calculator uses Oakland University's honor-point scale. The calculation is credit-weighted, which means a 4-credit course affects your GPA more than a 1-credit course. For every row, the calculator converts the letter grade into grade points, multiplies that value by the course credits, adds all quality points together, and divides by the total GPA-eligible credits.
GPA = total quality points / total GPA credits
For example, if you earn B+ in a 3-credit course, that course contributes 3.30 x 3 = 9.90 quality points. Add the quality points from every graded course, divide by all attempted GPA credits, and you get the semester estimate shown above.
Oakland uses honor points for letter grades and rounds official GPA to two decimals. S/U courses should be left out of this estimate. Source: Oakland University GPA calculator and FAQ.

Oakland University GPA is estimated with the standard quality-point formula: multiply each course's grade-point value by the course credits, add those quality points, then divide by the total GPA-eligible credits. Non-GPA marks such as pass/fail or withdrawals should only be entered if the school's policy says they carry grade points.
No. This is a free planning calculator built from published Oakland University grading information. It is useful for estimating a semester GPA, testing what-if grades, and checking whether a course is likely to move your average. Your official GPA is the one posted by Oakland University in its student record system or on your transcript.
Use the final letter grades that carry grade points on the Oakland University scale shown above. Leave out transfer credit, audit, pass/fail, incomplete, withdrawal, and no-credit marks unless the official policy for your specific case says those marks are included in GPA. When in doubt, match the grade labels printed on your transcript.
Yes, if you enter every GPA-bearing course and its credit hours. For a quick semester estimate, enter only this term's courses. For a cumulative estimate, include prior graded courses too, or use the cumulative GPA calculator linked below if you already know your previous GPA and earned credits.
Small differences usually come from rounding, repeated-course rules, excluded courses, transfer-credit treatment, or a grade that has not posted yet. University systems also apply school-specific academic policies that a simple calculator cannot see. Treat this page as a close planning estimate, not a transcript replacement.
The scale on this page is based on the official or school-published grading information linked in the source section. Because catalogs can change, always verify unusual cases with your registrar, advisor, syllabus, or current academic catalog before making graduation or scholarship decisions.
Use the exact credit or unit value shown by the school. GPA is credit-weighted, so credits are not optional decoration.
Withdrawals, audits, pass/fail, transfer-only, and incomplete records can be excluded or treated differently depending on policy.
The calculator shows the math clearly. Your official GPA still comes from the registrar, portal, or transcript rules.
