How the formula works

MIT totals units of each grade level multiplied by its grade value, divides by total included units, and rounds to one decimal place. 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 1 decimal places. The updated CGPA combines the student's existing quality points with this semester's quality points, then rounds with standard rounding to 1 decimal places.

Pass/fail and non-GPA grades are handled from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology config: supported pass grades are excluded from GPA points. Repeat-course handling uses this rule: MIT states that a repeated subject counts in GPA each time it is taken.

Worked example

Suppose a student starts with 3.0 CGPA after 30 completed credits and takes these Massachusetts Institute of Technology courses:

  • Course 13 credits x A (5.00 points)
  • Course 23 credits x D (2.00 points)
  • Course 33 credits x O (0.00 points)

The semester GPA is 2.3 and the updated CGPA is 2.8 using this university's rounding rules.
