How to Use Canvas GPA Calculator (Step-by-Step Guide)
Step 1: Add Your Course Details
- Enter the course name.
- Add your final percentage (0–100%) from Canvas.
- Enter the correct credit hours.
Why this matters: Courses with more credit hours have a bigger impact on your GPA, so accuracy here is important.
Step 2: Select the Correct GPA Scale
Choose the GPA scale used by your school:
4.0 scale (standard)
4.33 scale
5.0 scale (Honors / AP)
Custom GPA scale
Tip: If your school uses weighted grading for Honors or AP classes, make sure you select the matching scale.
Step 3: Choose Whether to Include the Course
Decide if a course should be counted in your GPA.
Include graded courses
Exclude pass/fail, withdrawn, or non-GPA courses
This gives you full control and keeps your GPA calculation accurate.
Step 4: Review Letter Grades and GPA Results
Once added, the calculator instantly shows:
Letter grade for each course
Per-course GPA
Total credits
Cumulative GPA
Canvas percentages are automatically converted into GPA-ready results — no manual math required.
Step 5: Choose Which Courses Count Toward Your GPA
Each course includes an “Include in GPA” checkbox (✔ / ⬜) that lets you control whether a class affects your cumulative GPA.
✔ Checked → The course is included in your cumulative GPA
⬜ Unchecked → The course is excluded from GPA calculation
Your cumulative GPA updates instantly when you toggle this option.
When Should You Exclude a Course?
This option is especially useful if:
The course is pass/fail
You are retaking a class
The course does not count toward your major GPA
You want to calculate a major-only or term-only GPA
This flexibility helps students get a more accurate and realistic GPA, just like official Canvas and school reports.
Step 6: Track Progress During the Semester
Don’t wait for final grades. Update percentages as the semester continues to see where you stand and adjust your effort early.
This helps avoid surprises and reduces end-of-term stress.
