How the formula works

GPA is computed from grade points per unit and course units; P, S, NP, U, I, and IP units are excluded from GPA. 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 California, Berkeley config: supported pass grades are excluded from GPA points. Repeat-course handling uses this rule: UC Berkeley repeat rules include eligibility limits, a first-12-graded-units replacement limit, and approval rules for additional repeats, so repeated courses require manual review.

Worked example

Suppose a student starts with 3.00 CGPA after 30 completed credits and takes these University of California, Berkeley courses:

  • Course 13 credits x A+ (4.00 points)
  • Course 23 credits x B+ (3.30 points)
  • Course 33 credits x C+ (2.30 points)

The semester GPA is 3.20 and the updated CGPA is 3.05 using this university's rounding rules.
