How the formula works

Harvard College GPAs are cumulative and based on completed letter-graded courses taken while at Harvard, including failed courses, using the official 4-point transcript scale. 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 Harvard College config: pass/fail handling is included only when the university data marks it as GPA-counted. Repeat-course handling uses this rule: The cited Harvard College transcript and honors pages do not provide a universal machine-calculable repeated-course replacement rule.

Worked example

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

  • Course 13 credits x A (4.00 points)
  • Course 23 credits x B (3.00 points)
  • Course 33 credits x C (2.00 points)

The semester GPA is 3.00 and the updated CGPA is 3.00 using this university's rounding rules.
