How the formula works

For quality grades, grade points are weighted by units; units are divided by 100 for GPA weighting on the official transcript key. 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 Chicago config: supported pass grades are excluded from GPA points. Repeat-course handling uses this rule: The cited University of Chicago Registrar pages define GPA calculation and grade values but do not provide a universal repeated-course GPA replacement rule.

Worked example

Suppose a student starts with 3.00 CGPA after 30 completed credits and takes these University of Chicago 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.
