The GPA Formula Infinite Campus Uses
Infinite Campus converts each letter grade to a point value, then calculates a credit-weighted average:
GPA = S (Grade Points × Credit Hours) ÷ S (Credit Hours)
For example: If you earn an A (4.0) in a 3-credit class and a B (3.0) in a 4-credit class, your GPA = (4.0×3 + 3.0×4) ÷ (3+4) = 24÷7 = 3.43

| A | 93–96% | 4.0 | Excellent |
| A- | 90–92% | 3.7 | Very Good |
| B+ | 87–89% | 3.3 | Good |
| B | 83–86% | 3.0 | Good |
| B- | 80–82% | 2.7 | Above Average |
| C+ | 77–79% | 2.3 | Average |
| C | 73–76% | 2.0 | Average |
| C- | 70–72% | 1.7 | Below Average |
| D+ | 67–69% | 1.3 | Poor |
| D | 63–66% | 1.0 | Poor |
| F | Below 63% | 0.0 | Failing |

GPA Improvement Formula

Medium-term: Balance challenging courses with ones where you can realistically earn high grades
Long-term: Remember that each new semester's grades are averaged with all prior semesters, so earlier action has more impact
New GPA = ((Current GPA × Current Credits) + (New Grade Points × New Credits)) ÷ (Total Credits)
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I calculate my GPA from Infinite Campus?
Enter each course's letter grade and credit hours into the calculator above. The tool converts letter grades to the standard 4.0 scale and calculates your credit-weighted average automatically — matching exactly how Infinite Campus reports your GPA.
Does Infinite Campus use a 4.0 GPA scale?
Most districts using Infinite Campus follow the standard 4.0 unweighted scale. However, some districts apply weighted scales for honors and AP courses, which can push weighted GPAs above 4.0. Check with your school counselor for your district's specific policy.
What is the difference between weighted and unweighted GPA?
Unweighted GPA treats all classes equally on a 4.0 scale. Weighted GPA gives extra points for advanced courses — for example, an A in an AP class might count as 5.0 instead of 4.0. Infinite Campus can display both depending on your district's configuration.
Can I calculate my cumulative GPA across multiple semesters?
This calculator handles single-semester GPA. To calculate cumulative GPA across all semesters, add every course from every semester into the tool — or wait for our dedicated Cumulative GPA Calculator, which will simplify multi-term calculations.
Why does my calculated GPA differ from what Infinite Campus shows?
Common reasons include: your school uses a modified grading scale (e.g., no A+/A- distinction), some courses are excluded from GPA (like Pass/Fail), or your district applies weighted GPA bonuses. Our guide to how IC calculates grades explains all the factors.
