Penn calculates GPA at the end of each term using its official grade-point scale; GPA is a weighted average of credit units and grade points. 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 Pennsylvania config: supported pass grades are excluded from GPA points. Repeat-course handling uses this rule: The cited Penn undergraduate GPA policy states school-specific policies vary and does not provide a single machine-calculable repeated-course rule.
Suppose a student starts with 3.00 CGPA after 30 completed credits and takes these University of Pennsylvania courses:
The semester GPA is 3.20 and the updated CGPA is 3.05 using this university's rounding rules.
No. This page uses the grading configuration for University of Pennsylvania. Another university in United States can have different grade points, rounding rules, or pass/fail handling.
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.
Pass/fail grades marked as non-GPA in the University of Pennsylvania config are excluded from GPA points, although credit may still be earned when the grade allows it.
The cited Penn undergraduate GPA policy states school-specific policies vary and does not provide a single machine-calculable repeated-course rule.
