South Africa GPA Calculator - University CGPA Tools

GPA Calculator for South Africa

GPAWorld covers 2 universities in South Africa. All 2 of them publish the 0-100 percentage GPA scale, but that shared label does not make them interchangeable: their grade tables, pass marks and repeat rules are set institution by institution. That is why this site keeps one grading configuration per university instead of one per country — a single "South Africa GPA formula" would be wrong for most students who used it.

Common questions about GPA in South Africa

Is there one GPA formula for all universities in South Africa?

No. The 2 South Africa universities covered here share the 0-100 percentage GPA scale, but they set their own grade tables, pass marks, rounding and repeat rules. Use your own university's page rather than a shared formula.

How do I calculate my CGPA at a South Africa university?

Open your university's page from the list above. Enter your current CGPA and completed credit hours, then add this semester's courses with their credit hours and grades. The grade options come from that university's own table, and the result is rounded using its own rule — so the number matches how your registrar calculates it.

Is my university missing from this South Africa list?

Quite possibly — coverage is being expanded steadily, and each university is only added once its grading policy has been read from an official source and encoded. Send us the university name and a link to its published grading scale and we will add it.
