HKUST assigns numerical grade points for letter grades and excludes AU, DI, I, P, PA, PP, T, and W from grade-average calculation. For semester GPA, each GPA-counted course is converted to quality points by multiplying grade points by credits. The semester GPA is the total quality points divided by total GPA-counted credits, then rounded with standard rounding to 2 decimal places. The updated CGPA combines the student's existing quality points with this semester's quality points, then rounds with standard rounding to 2 decimal places.
Pass/fail and non-GPA grades are handled from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology config: supported pass grades are excluded from GPA points. Repeat-course handling uses this rule: HKUST states F grades are included in the record and in TGA/CGA for students admitted in 2018-19 or after; repeated failed courses do not remove the original F from GPA calculation.
Suppose a student starts with 3.00 CGPA after 30 completed credits and takes these Hong Kong University of Science and Technology courses:
The semester GPA is 3.30 and the updated CGPA is 3.07 using this university's rounding rules.
No. This page uses the grading configuration for Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. Another university in Hong Kong can have different grade points, rounding rules, or pass/fail handling.
The calculator multiplies each GPA-counted grade point by its credits, adds the quality points, divides by GPA-counted credits, and applies standard rounding to 2 decimal places.
Pass/fail grades marked as non-GPA in the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology config are excluded from GPA points, although credit may still be earned when the grade allows it.
HKUST states F grades are included in the record and in TGA/CGA for students admitted in 2018-19 or after; repeated failed courses do not remove the original F from GPA calculation.
