This tool helps you calculate your GPA based on your course grades at Yale.
How it works
To calculate your GPA based on Yale’s grading scale, input the credit hours and the grade you received for each course. Click the “Calculate” button to see the GPA for the entered course. The calculator converts letter grades to their respective grade points based on a predefined scale, multiplies each grade point by the credit hours, and sums these products. It then divides this sum by the total number of credit hours to find the GPA.
How to use it
1. Enter the credit hours for the course.
2. Enter the letter grade you received.
3. Click the “Calculate” button.
4. The result field will display the GPA for that course.
Limitations
This GPA calculator works for single course calculations only. For cumulative GPA calculations across multiple courses, manual computation or a different tool is necessary. This calculator follows Yale’s specific grading scale and may not be accurate for other institutions.
