How the formula works

Sophia GPA is total Quality Points divided by registered course credits, excluding courses marked W, N, P, or X. 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 Sophia University config: supported pass grades are excluded from GPA points. Repeat-course handling uses this rule: Sophia's official academic guide defines QPI, GPA formula, and exclusions, but a general repeated-course replacement rule was not clear.

Worked example

Suppose a student starts with 3.00 CGPA after 30 completed credits and takes these Sophia University courses:

  • Course 13 credits x A (4.00 points)
  • Course 23 credits x D (1.00 points)
  • Course 33 credits x F (0.00 points)

The semester GPA is 1.67 and the updated CGPA is 2.69 using this university's rounding rules.

FAQ

Does this calculator use a generic Japan GPA formula?

No. This page uses the grading configuration for Sophia University. Another university in Japan can have different grade points, rounding rules, or pass/fail handling.

How is semester GPA calculated at Sophia University?

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.

Are pass/fail courses included in GPA?

Pass/fail grades marked as non-GPA in the Sophia University config are excluded from GPA points, although credit may still be earned when the grade allows it.

What about repeated courses?

Sophia's official academic guide defines QPI, GPA formula, and exclusions, but a general repeated-course replacement rule was not clear.
