GPA CALCULATOR

Grade Point Average (GPA) is used to determine college entrance, eligibility for sports and certain school activities, honor roll, and many other instances. Your GPA is an important reflection of your academic work in high school and is reported on your high school transcript. The Overall GPA on the transcript includes every class that earned a grade in high school. 

CALCULATING YOUR GPA (unweighted):

GRADE                               POINTS

A                                       4.0

B                                       3.0

C                                       2.0

D                                     1.0

F                                         0

Divide the total number of points earned by the number of grades added

CALCULATING YOUR GPA (weighted):

B                                       4.0

UC and CSU recognize the following courses to receive extra weight in the GPA:

Up to a limit of 8 semester courses in sophomore and junior years, a maximum of 4 which can come from the sophomore year (if more than 8 semesters have been completed, select those semesters with the highest grades to include in the weighted GPA)
