What GPA do I need next semester?

GPA = total grade points ÷ total credits. Grade points for a course = credits × the points for your grade. CGPA is the same sum across every semester you have completed.
Use this calculator to work out your semester and cumulative GPA the way UC Berkeley counts grades. The grading scale is already set to UC Berkeley’s values, so add your courses with their credit hours and letter grades and the results update as you type. Prefer another scale? You can still switch it in the menu, or use the general GPA and CGPA calculator.
UC Berkeley GPA calculation rules
UC Berkeley uses a 4.0 scale with plus and minus grades. A+ and A are both worth 4.0, A- is 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 and F 0.0. Because an A+ carries the same 4.0 as an A, it cannot push your GPA above 4.0.
Semester GPA is total grade points divided by total letter-graded units, and cumulative GPA applies the same sum across every term. Units taken Pass/No Pass do not carry grade points, so leave them out of the calculator.
UC Berkeley grade conversion table
| Letter grade | Typical percentage range | Grade points |
|---|---|---|
| A+ | 97–100 | 4.00 |
| A | 93–96 | 4.00 |
| A- | 90–92 | 3.70 |
| B+ | 87–89 | 3.30 |
| B | 83–86 | 3.00 |
| B- | 80–82 | 2.70 |
| C+ | 77–79 | 2.30 |
| C | 73–76 | 2.00 |
| C- | 70–72 | 1.70 |
| D+ | 67–69 | 1.30 |
| D | 63–66 | 1.00 |
| D- | 60–62 | 0.70 |
| F | Below 60 | 0.00 |
Grade points follow the official scale. Percentage ranges are the common US convention and not an official conversion, because instructors set their own cutoffs in the syllabus.
UC Berkeley Dean’s List, honors and academic standing
Berkeley’s Dean’s Honors List is rank-based, so there is no fixed GPA number to aim for. In the College of Letters & Science you need a semester GPA in the top 10% of L&S undergraduates, at least 13 letter-graded units, and no I, NR or NP grades that semester. The College of Engineering also uses the top 10% of its undergraduates, with at least 12 letter-graded units and no I, NP or M grades.
Because the cutoff depends on how your whole cohort performs, this calculator cannot confirm that you qualify. It can show your semester GPA so you can compare it with the cutoff your college publishes after the term.
