Sync with my coursesHow weighted GPA math works at UWM
Most University of Wisconsin-Milwaukeecourses divide your grade into weighted categories. Homework might count for 20%, midterms 30%, the final 40%, and participation 10%. Your grade is the sum of each category's percentage times its weight, divided by the total weight of graded categories.
The tricky part: ungraded categories (like a final you haven't taken) drop out of the current-grade calculation. That means a 95 now can slide to a B once the final counts. This calculator shows you both numbers.
Why your gradebook grade is often misleading
Most gradebooks show the average of graded work only. The categories you haven't been graded on yet still carry weight in your final grade, so the number you see today will shift. This calculator lets you model what happens when the rest of the semester counts.
Frequently asked questions

Enter each grading category with its weight percentage and your current grade. The calculator uses the same weighted-average formula your professor uses.
What if my weights don't add up to 100%?
The calculator will warn you. This usually means a category is missing from your syllabus. Check for attendance or participation entries you may have forgotten.

Yes. Every course that uses weighted categories works with this calculator. Enter the categories exactly as they appear in your syllabus.
