USC GPA is the numerical average of graded coursework; grade points are calculated by multiplying the numeric grade equivalent by course units. 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 Southern California config: supported pass grades are excluded from GPA points. Repeat-course handling uses this rule: USC repeat rules differ for first-time freshmen substitution, D+ or below eligibility, and other repeated coursework, so repeated courses require manual review.
Suppose a student starts with 3.00 CGPA after 30 completed credits and takes these University of Southern California courses:
The semester GPA is 3.00 and the updated CGPA is 3.00 using this university's rounding rules.
No. This page uses the grading configuration for University of Southern California. 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 Southern California config are excluded from GPA points, although credit may still be earned when the grade allows it.
USC repeat rules differ for first-time freshmen substitution, D+ or below eligibility, and other repeated coursework, so repeated courses require manual review.
