How to Use the University Grade Calculator

A University Grade Calculator helps students compute their final average in a course based on individual assignment grades and their corresponding weightings.

What It Does:

This calculator determines your final percentage grade in a class by factoring in the specific weights of each graded component, such as exams, essays, and projects.

Steps to Use:

1. Enter each assignment’s grade and its weight in percentage form.
2. Click “+ Add Another Grade” to include more assignments.
3. After all components are entered, click “Calculate Final Grade.”
4. Your final course grade will appear below.

Note: The total weight must add up to exactly 100% to produce an accurate result.

University Grade Calculator FAQ

Q1: What does "weight" mean?
A: Weight refers to how much each assignment contributes to your final grade. For example, if your final exam is worth 40%, its weight is 40.

Q2: What if my total weight isn’t 100%?
A: The calculator will alert you to adjust your weights. The total must equal 100% for the result to be meaningful.

Q3: Can I use decimal grades?
A: Yes, you can enter decimals like 87.5 for grades and 12.5 for weights.

Q4: What if I don’t know all my grades yet?
A: Only enter the ones you have, but remember the final result won’t be accurate unless all components and weights are included.

Q5: Does this calculator support letter grades?
A: No. Convert your letter grades (e.g., B+ = 87) into percentages to use this tool.
