GPA Calculator & Academic Success Planner

Estimate your semester, cumulative, and major GPA—and identify the semester GPA you may need to reach your academic goal.

Plan, don’t predict. Use this tool to explore “what-if” scenarios and create a realistic GPA goal. Results are estimates and do not replace your official Rhodes academic record or an official academic standing review.

1. Enter Your Current Academic Record

2. Set Your GPA Goal

1. Identify the courses with the biggest impact on your semester GPA.

2. Revisit the planner after major assignments or exams and adjust your goals while there is still time to act.

3. Use ALR coaching, faculty office hours, Peer Academic Coaching, SI, tutoring, and your faculty advisor to build an accountable success plan.

Academic standing note: Academic Warning applies when a student is not on probation or suspension and either the cumulative or major GPA is below 2.25. A major GPA below 2.00 is subject to probation, and cumulative probation thresholds also depend on credits earned. This calculator is an educational planning tool only; official grades, GPA, credits, and academic standing are determined by Rhodes College.
