Quick answer
Needed term GPA = (target × total credits − current GPA × credits done) ÷ term credits. Example: 3.2 over 60 credits, aiming for 3.4 with 15 new credits needs about 4.2 — often impossible in one term. Math stays in your browser.

Frequently asked questions
How do you calculate the GPA needed this term?
Needed term GPA = (target × (credits done + term credits) − current GPA × credits done) ÷ term credits. If the result is above 4.0 (or your scale max), the target may be unreachable in one term.
Do pass/fail credits count?
Usually only graded credits that affect GPA count. Match your registrar’s rules for what enters the GPA pool.
