How the formula works

UAlg official master/doctoral regulations state the final grade point average is on the 10-20 range of the 0-20 scale and is calculated from all curricular-unit grades, including final work where applicable, weighted by the number of ECTS credits. 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 University of Algarve config: supported pass grades are excluded from GPA points. Repeat-course handling uses this rule: The official sources identify the grading scale and ECTS-weighted final-average calculation, but repeated/retaken course treatment is not complete enough to automate safely.

Worked example

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

  • Course 13 credits x 10 (10.00 points)
  • Course 23 credits x 13 (13.00 points)
  • Course 33 credits x 16 (16.00 points)

The semester GPA is 13.00 and the updated CGPA is 5.31 using this university's rounding rules.

FAQ

Does this calculator use a generic Portugal GPA formula?

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

How is semester GPA calculated at University of Algarve?

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 University of Algarve config are excluded from GPA points, although credit may still be earned when the grade allows it.

What about repeated courses?

The official sources identify the grading scale and ECTS-weighted final-average calculation, but repeated/retaken course treatment is not complete enough to automate safely.
