GPA goal planner
See the GPA you need across future credits, your best possible outcome, and whether your target is still reachable.
How it works
A worked example
A 3.21 GPA across 60 completed credits needs a 3.79 average across 60 more credits to reach a 3.50 cumulative GPA.
Assumptions to check
All credits use the same grading scale. Future credits count toward GPA. Retakes, grade forgiveness and institution-specific exclusions require separate treatment.

Why is my required GPA above the scale?
There are too few remaining credits to offset your existing grades. The ceiling shows your best possible cumulative result under the inputs.
Does a current 4.0 mean I can keep 4.0 with a B?
On an unweighted 4.0 scale, any counted grade below 4.0 lowers an exact 4.0 average.
Planning estimates, not official academic results. Your course and institution set the rules.
From this result to your next step.
Check how much room future credits provide
A target depends on the quality points you have already earned and the credits still to count. More future credits can move an existing average further. Choose the maximum scale explicitly; changing a maximum does not convert recorded grade points.
Keep a feasible target and a fallback
If the required future GPA exceeds the scale, compare the best attainable cumulative GPA and a lower target. Use confirmed course credits to explore scenarios. The goal planner cannot apply a grade-replacement policy that has not been entered.
