| C+ | 2.3 | 77% – 79% | Slightly Above Passing |
| C | 2.0 | 73% – 76% | Satisfactory / Minimum Major Credit |
| C- | 1.7 | 70% – 72% | Below Average |
| D+ | 1.3 | 67% – 69% | Poor / Conditional Credit |

Variables Explained
GPA_cur (Current GPA)
Existing cumulative grade point average recorded on your official transcript prior to the current academic term.
C_past (Past Credits)
Total graded credit hours completed to date that factor into your cumulative GPA (excluding pass/fail credits).
C_term (Term Credits)
Sum of credit hours enrolled in during the upcoming or active semester: C_term = ∑ c_i.
g_i (Course Grade Points)
Quality point value assigned to letter grade in course i based on the standard 4.0 grading scale (e.g. A = 4.0, B = 3.0).
GPA_needed (Required Semester GPA)
Exact semester GPA you must average across all current courses to pull your overall cumulative GPA up to the target.
GPA_max (Maximum Possible GPA)
The absolute highest cumulative GPA achievable this term assuming you earn a perfect 4.00 (straight A's) in every enrolled course.
Important Notes
Institutional Grading Variances: Grading scales and grade point assignments vary across universities (e.g. some colleges do not award A+, or treat A and A+ both as 4.00, or do not use minus grades). Always verify with your university registrar.
Retake and Repeat Policies: Many institutions offer course retake or grade replacement policies, which replace an earlier D or F rather than averaging it. Grade replacement changes GPA substantially faster than taking new credits.
