HKU GPA is the sum of grade point multiplied by credits divided by total attempted credits for letter-graded courses. 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 The University of Hong Kong config: supported pass grades are excluded from GPA points. Repeat-course handling uses this rule: HKU Academic Advising states a retaken course grade does not replace the fail grade and every attempt is counted toward GPA.
Suppose a student starts with 3.00 CGPA after 30 completed credits and takes these The University of Hong Kong 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 The University of Hong Kong. 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 The University of Hong Kong config are excluded from GPA points, although credit may still be earned when the grade allows it.
HKU Academic Advising states a retaken course grade does not replace the fail grade and every attempt is counted toward GPA.
