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Exclude pass/fail, withdrawn, or non-GPA courses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.
All calculations are automatic and error-free, helping you avoid manual mistakes and saving valuable time.
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.
