Calculate your UC Berkeley cumulative GPA free online. Uses Berkeley's official 4.0 grading scale — no A+, letter grades only — and shows your academic standing instantly.
The Cumulative GPA Calculator Berkeley uses UC Berkeley's official grading scale to compute your semester and cumulative GPA. Unlike most US institutions, Berkeley does not award A+ grades — the highest grade is A (4.0). Enter each course with its letter grade and unit count; optionally add your previous cumulative GPA and total units to track your running GPA across semesters. The tool instantly shows whether you meet Berkeley's academic standing thresholds: 2.0 for good standing, 3.5 for Dean's List eligibility, and 3.9 for Phi Beta Kappa honour society.
UC Berkeley's grading system differs from most US universities in one important way: Berkeley does not award A+ grades. The highest grade a student can receive is A, which carries a grade point value of 4.0. All other grades follow the standard 4.0 scale: A− = 3.7, B+ = 3.3, B = 3.0, B− = 2.7, and so on down to F = 0.0. The Cumulative GPA Calculator Berkeley applies this exact scale to compute your semester GPA — the weighted average for your current term's courses — and your cumulative GPA, which factors in all prior semesters by combining your current quality points with your previously earned quality point total. Quality points for each course equal the grade point value multiplied by the number of units. The cumulative GPA is then total quality points divided by total graded units across all semesters entered.
Formula
Quality Points (per course) = Grade Points × Units Semester GPA = Σ(Quality Points) ÷ Σ(Units this semester) Cumulative GPA = (Semester QP + Previous QP) ÷ (Semester Units + Previous Units)
Grade Points follow Berkeley's scale: A = 4.0, A− = 3.7, B+ = 3.3, B = 3.0, B− = 2.7, C+ = 2.3, C = 2.0, C− = 1.7, D+ = 1.3, D = 1.0, D− = 0.7, F = 0.0. Units are the Berkeley unit count (1 unit ≈ 1 hour of class per week per semester). P/NP courses are excluded from the GPA.
Example: computing a Berkeley semester GPA across 4 courses
✓ Result: Semester GPA = 3.473 — Dean's List eligible threshold is 3.5, so this student is just below.
| Letter Grade | Grade Points | Berkeley Academic Standing |
|---|---|---|
| A | 4.0 | Highest grade — A+ not awarded at Berkeley |
| A− | 3.7 | Dean's List eligible (≥ 3.5 semester GPA on 12+ units) |
| B+ | 3.3 | Good academic standing |
| B | 3.0 | Good academic standing |
| B− | 2.7 | Good academic standing |
| C+ | 2.3 | Good academic standing |
| C | 2.0 | Minimum for good standing (cumulative ≥ 2.0) |
| C− | 1.7 | Academic probation risk if cumulative drops below 2.0 |
