University of Bern regulations calculate overall grades as ECTS-credit-weighted averages of graded performance assessments. 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 Bern config: supported pass grades are excluded from GPA points. Repeat-course handling uses this rule: University of Bern official sources define the numeric scale and credit-weighted average, but public repeat, compensation, and retake rules vary by program or were not clear enough for automatic replacement. Repeated courses are therefore flagged for manual review.
Suppose a student starts with 3.00 CGPA after 30 completed credits and takes these University of Bern courses:
The semester GPA is 2.50 and the updated CGPA is 2.88 using this university's rounding rules.
No. This page uses the grading configuration for University of Bern. Another university in Switzerland 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 University of Bern config are excluded from GPA points, although credit may still be earned when the grade allows it.
