Class GradeCALCULATOR

UCLA GPA calculator

UCLA grade points run A+ and A 4.0, A− 3.7, B+ 3.3, B 3.0 and so on down to D− 0.7 and F 0.0, earned for every unit, and your GPA is grade points ÷ units attempted. P, NP, I, IP, DR and NR stay out of it, and grades from non-UC colleges never enter it. Retake a C− or lower and only the newer grade counts, better or worse, until you’ve repeated 16 units; a repeat that doesn’t fit in what’s left of those 16 units is averaged with the first grade.

UCLA’s points: A+ 4.00, A 4.00, A− 3.70, B+ 3.30 and so on.

Include your earlier GPA

Quality points are the more exact input when the displayed GPA has already been rounded. Do not include these same units again in the course rows.

Raise my GPA: what would it take to reach a target?

These are future units beyond the courses and earlier record entered above.

Pass/fail or a retake: what would change?

Whether a pass/fail course leaves the GPA and whether a retake replaces the old grade are your school’s rules; the table below shows UCLA’s.

One grade higher: which course moves your GPA most?

Each line raises one course by one grade on the grade points above and leaves the others as entered, so a course that carries more credit moves the GPA more. A course you haven’t finished can be marked “Planned” in its ⋯ menu: the GPA so far then leaves it out, and the projection counts it at the grade you chose. A grade already on your transcript changes only under your school’s retake or grade-change rules.

Grade points at UCLA

UCLA multiplies each course’s grade points by its units, adds them up and divides by the units that count. Enter your courses above with these points already set.

What pass/fail, incomplete, retakes and transfer credit do at UCLA

A course left out of the GPA adds no points and no units. In the calculator, choose its code or “Not counted”; a code that counts as zero lowers the GPA like a failing grade.

How UCLA counts each code
CodeWhat it meansIn the UCLA GPA
A+ExtraordinaryWorth 4.0 per unit, the same as an A, so it earns nothing extra. Rule
C−, D+, D, D−Passing, below CWorth 1.7, 1.3, 1.0 and 0.7 per unit. They earn unit credit but may not meet some requirements, and must be offset by grades of C+ or better in other courses. A C− or lower is the only grade you can repeat to raise your GPA. Rule
FFailCounts 0.0 per unit and earns no unit or course credit. Stopping work in a term without an approved withdrawal, leave or cancellation brings an F, NP or U in every course, and an unfinished incomplete lapses to an F, NP or U. Rule
P / NPPassed (C or better) / Not PassedNeither affects your UC GPA, and P/NP courses don’t count toward Latin honors. A P earns units toward your degree; C− work or below earns an NP and no units. You need good standing and at least 12 units (14 in Engineering) to take a course P/NP, one course a term (two if you took none the term before), and you can switch through week 6. Your major may require letter grades. The catalog’s grade-point table also lists NP at 0.0, but its P/NP rules and the College’s advising center say P/NP doesn’t affect the GPA. Law schools count an NP as an F for admission. Rule
IIncomplete: passing work unfinished for a good causeLeft out of your GPA until a letter grade replaces it; then its units and points count, in the original term, without changing that term’s academic status. Finish by the end of the next regular term (your College or school can extend this in unusual cases) or it lapses to an F, NP or U. Don’t re-enroll in the course; it would be recorded twice. Rule
IPIn ProgressA provisional grade in a course that runs over more than one term; it’s left out of the GPA, and the final grade, with its units, is assigned in the last term. Rule
DRDeferred ReportGiven when your work is complete but a grade can’t be assigned yet, for example during disciplinary proceedings. It’s not included in the GPA. Rule
NRNo grade received from the instructorDisregarded in the GPA until a grade arrives. Rule
Late dropUCLA has no W gradeIn the College you can drop a nonimpacted class with no transcript notation through Friday of week 4. Later drops need approvals (three approved drops in weeks 8–10 over your whole career), and an approved late drop of an impacted class shows on your transcript as a notation of the date and week, not as a grade. Rule
Repeated courseYou took the same course againTo raise your GPA you may repeat only a course in which you got a C− or lower; an NP may be repeated to earn the units. For your first 16 repeated units, only the most recent letter grade counts in your GPA, better or worse. After 16 units, or when a repeat no longer fits in what’s left of your 16 units, both grades are averaged, and from then on every repeat is averaged. A letter-graded course must be repeated for a letter grade; a P/NP course can be repeated P/NP or for a letter. Repeating a course more than once needs approval, given only in extraordinary circumstances. You get degree credit once, every grade stays on your transcript, and no petition is needed: the Registrar codes the repeat. Repeating a course you passed with a C or P or better, or an earlier course in a sequence you’ve passed, is an unauthorized repeat and earns no credit. Rule
Transfer creditGrades from another collegeOnly grades from regular or summer sessions at any UC campus, and UCLA Extension courses prefixed XLC, count in your UCLA GPA; grades from another institution or other Extension courses don’t. After 105 lower-division quarter units from all schools, community college and non-UC lower-division courses earn no more unit credit, though they can still meet lower-division requirements; AP, IB and A-Level units are outside that limit. Semester units × 1.5 give quarter units. The Registrar’s Office and Undergraduate Admission decide what transfers, and your transcript shows the total transfer units accepted. Rule

UCLA GPA lines

A worked example

UCLA replaces a retaken C− or lower only while the repeat fits within your 16 repeat units. Say you’ve already used 12 of them, and this term you take two 4-unit courses for an A and a B and repeat a 5-unit course you got a C− in, earning a B+. With room to spare, the C− would drop out: (4.0 × 4 + 3.0 × 4 + 3.3 × 5) ÷ 13 = 44.5 ÷ 13 = 3.42. With only 4 units left, the 5-unit repeat doesn’t fit, so both grades are averaged: (4.0 × 4 + 3.0 × 4 + 1.7 × 5 + 3.3 × 5) ÷ 18 = 53 ÷ 18 = 2.94, counting just these courses. Every later repeat is averaged too.

The calculator gives an estimate from the grades you enter. Your official GPA is the one on your UCLA academic record.
