Degree Progress Calculator

Completion percentage is calculated by dividing your credits completed by the total credits required for your degree, then multiplying by 100. For example, if you've completed 60 out of 120 required credits, your progress is 50%. Credits currently in progress are shown separately so you can see both your confirmed and projected completion.

In terms of credit hours, yes — each credit earned contributes equally to your completion percentage regardless of which year you earned it. However, some degree programs weight upper-division or major-specific credits more heavily for classification purposes, so check your institution's requirements.

A GPA calculator focuses on your grade point average based on letter grades earned in each course. This Degree Progress Calculator focuses on how many credit hours you've completed relative to your graduation requirements, showing your overall percentage to completion, classification, and estimated time remaining. Both tools complement each other for academic planning.

Enter your current completed credits alongside your credits in progress and average credits per semester to see how many semesters you have left. You can also enter a target GPA to find out what average GPA you'll need in your remaining coursework to hit that goal by graduation.

A weighted average takes into account the credit value of each course when calculating your overall GPA or score — a 4-credit course counts more than a 1-credit course. Degree classification (Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, Senior) is typically based on total credit hours earned, while academic honors classifications (like cum laude) are based on weighted GPA.

In the U.S. system for a bachelor's degree: Freshman = 0–29 credits, Sophomore = 30–59 credits, Junior = 60–89 credits, Senior = 90+ credits. These are general guidelines and can vary by institution. The calculator uses your completed credits to project your current classification.

You can enter any total credit requirement in the 'Total Credits Required for Degree' field. Some engineering or architecture programs require 128–136 credits, while associate's degrees may require only 60. The calculator will adjust all outputs — percentage, remaining credits, and forecast — based on whatever total you enter.

Yes — enter your average credits per semester and the calculator will estimate how many semesters you have left. Compare that number to your expected remaining time in school to see if you're ahead, on track, or need to increase your course load to graduate by your target date.
