What is the difference between semester GPA and cumulative GPA?
Semester GPA is based on all the courses a student has taken in a specific semester. Cumulative GPA is comprised of all the courses – over multiple semesters – that could transfer to university, or, in the case of secondary students, that could satisfy secondary credit. For example, a “B” in ENGL 099 will be included in the calculation of semester GPA, but not in the calculation of cumulative GPA. Notice that an “F” (fail) in a UT or Secondary course earns no credit but is included in both the semester and cumulative GPAs.
