1. Select Credit System: Choose between 'Semester' and 'Quarter' systems. The calculator will automatically convert quarter credits for accurate GPA calculation.
2. Add Your Courses: Fill in the course name (optional), the number of credits, and the grade you received. Check the "Part of Major?" box if the course counts towards your major GPA.
3. Note on P/U Grades: Courses graded as 'P' (Pass) or 'U' (Unsatisfactory) are excluded from GPA calculations, which is a common academic standard.
4. Customize Grade Weights: If your school uses a different grading scale, expand the "Customize Grade Weighting" section to modify the point value for each letter grade.
