How the formula works

Stanford multiplies each GPA-counted grade point value by course units, sums the products, and divides by the units for all courses graded A+ through NP. 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 Stanford University config: pass/fail handling is included only when the university data marks it as GPA-counted. Repeat-course handling uses this rule: The cited Stanford GPA pages define grade weighting and excluded grades, but a general machine-calculable repeat replacement rule was not clear in those sources.

Worked example

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

  • Course 13 credits x A+ (4.30 points)
  • Course 23 credits x B+ (3.30 points)
  • Course 33 credits x C+ (2.30 points)

The semester GPA is 3.30 and the updated CGPA is 3.07 using this university's rounding rules.

FAQ

Does this calculator use a generic United States GPA formula?

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

How is semester GPA calculated at Stanford University?

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 follow the exact GPA-counting flags stored in the Stanford University config.

What about repeated courses?

The cited Stanford GPA pages define grade weighting and excluded grades, but a general machine-calculable repeat replacement rule was not clear in those sources.
