- Understand the impact utilizing Academic Forgiveness can have on a student's cumulative Clemson GPA.
Consider the Following Prior to Utilizing this Tool
- The calculated GPA fields on this page take into account all data entered in the fields that precede it. For any features students do not want considered in the calculated GPA, the data fields should be left blank.
- This calculator is intended for undergraduate use only.
- Transfer coursework does not impact your Clemson GPA.
- Only grades of A, B, C, D, F, or I impact your Clemson GPA; therefore, P/NP is not an option in the drop down menu.
Note: Information used in this calculation is unofficial. Therefore, this should be used only as a planning tool to estimate your GPA. Your official GPA may be impacted by many factors including, but not limited to, academic forgiveness, incomplete grades, grade corrections, and repeated courses.

Predict the Impact of Anticipated Grades in Currently Enrolled Courses
Students may enter credit hours and anticipated grades for up to ten courses in the fields below. The calculator will then provide your predicted end of term GPA based on these entries. Credit hours for Pass (P)/No Pass (NP) graded courses should not be entered because quality points are not earned for grades of P/NP and therefore do not impact a student's GPA.
| Course 1 | Credit Hours: | Predicted Grade: |
|---|---|---|
| Course 2 | Credit Hours: | Predicted Grade: |
| Course 3 | Credit Hours: | Predicted Grade: |

Students may enter their desired cumulative GPA and currently enrolled credit hours for the current term. The calculator will then provide the quality points and GPA the student must earn for the current term to achieve the desired cumulative GPA. Pass (P)/No Pass (NP) graded courses should not be entered because quality points are not earned for grades of P/NP and therefore do not impact a student's GPA. Information input in “Predict the Impact of Anticipated Grades in Currently Enrolled Courses” is not included in the current calculation.
