Why one bad semester fades over time

Cumulative GPA is a weighted average over every credit you have ever earned. A rough first semester over 15 credits moves your average a lot; the same semester after 90 credits barely dents it. The flip side: raising a cumulative GPA late in your degree takes sustained high grades — the raise-my-GPA planner shows exactly how many.

Questions

Do transfer credits count in my cumulative GPA?

Usually not — most schools count only credits earned at their institution in the GPA, even when the credits themselves transfer. Check your school's policy; this calculator follows the common rule by blending whatever you enter.

What if a course was retaken?

Policies differ: some schools replace the first grade, some average both, some count both. Enter the grades the way your school counts them.
