Dean’s List Calculator

Dean’s List Calculator

The Dean’s List Calculator helps students determine whether they qualify for the Dean’s List based on their GPA. Most colleges and universities require a minimum GPA (e.g., 3.5 or higher) and a specific number of credit hours for eligibility. This tool evaluates if students meet these criteria.

How Does It Work?

  • Minimum GPA: Typically 3.5 or above.
  • Credit Hours: A minimum number of credit hours (e.g., 12 per semester).

The GPA formula:

\[ \text{GPA} = \frac{\text{Total Grade Points}}{\text{Total Credit Hours}} \]

Example Calculation

Scenario: A student takes 4 courses:

  • Course 1: A (4.0), 3 credits
  • Course 2: B+ (3.3), 3 credits
  • Course 3: A- (3.7), 4 credits
  • Course 4: B (3.0), 2 credits

Step 1: Calculate total grade points

\[ (4.0\times3) + (3.3\times3) + (3.7\times4) + (3.0\times2) = 43.3 \]

Step 2: Calculate total credit hours

\[ 3 + 3 + 4 + 2 = 12 \]

Step 3: Calculate GPA

\[ \text{GPA} = \frac{43.3}{12} = 3.61 \]

Step 4: Compare with Dean’s List threshold (3.5)

GPA 3.61 > 3.5 → Student qualifies for the Dean’s List.
