UVA GPA Calculator – Semester & Cumulative
Enter your courses below (letter grade + credits). Add previous GPA to track cumulative progress. Uses official UVA 4.0 scale with plus/minus (A+ = 4.0, A- = 3.7, etc.).
Cumulative GPA (optional)
Leave as 0 if calculating only this semester's GPA.
*Based on UVA's 2026 grading policy: A+/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. Repeating a course: only most recent grade counts toward GPA (original remains on transcript).
How does UVA calculate GPA? (Full guide for 2026)
Whether you’re an undergraduate at the College of Arts & Sciences, a SEAS engineering student, or a graduate scholar, understanding the uva gpa calculation method is essential. The University of Virginia uses a standard 4.0 scale with plus/minus modifiers, but A+ grades receive 4.0 (not 4.33). Below is the official UVA grade point equivalency used by the Office of the University Registrar.
| Letter Grade | Grade Points | Percentage Range (typical) |
|---|---|---|
| A+ / A | 4.0 | 93–100% |
| A- | 3.7 | 90–92% |
| B+ | 3.3 | 87–89% |
| B | 3.0 | 83–86% |
| B- | 2.7 | 80–82% |
| C+ | 2.3 | 77–79% |
| C | 2.0 | 73–76% |
| C- | 1.7 | 70–72% |
| D+ | 1.3 | 67–69% |
| D | 1.0 | 63–66% |
| D- | 0.7 | 60–62% |
| F | 0.0 | <60% |
Calculate GPA for a semester at UVA (step-by-step)
- Multiply each course’s credit hours by the grade point value → quality points.
- Add all quality points together.
- Divide by total attempted credits (excluding P/F, W, or audit).
- Result = semester GPA. Use our interactive calculator above.
How to calculate cumulative GPA at UVA
uva cumulative gpa calculator method: sum of all quality points from all terms ÷ sum of all graded credits. Our tool integrates previous GPA so you can see your updated standing after current semester courses. Perfect for students aiming for Dean’s List (3.4+) or Latin honors.
Major GPA & SEAS engineering GPA calculation
For a uva major gpa calculator, simply list only the courses required for your major (including prerequisite core). For the School of Engineering and Applied Science (SEAS), same grade values apply but only major-related technical electives and required courses count toward “major GPA”. You can manually select those courses in the calculator above. For the uva law gpa calculator or graduate programs (GSAS), the same 4.0 plus/minus scale is used, though graduate courses may have a higher minimum passing grade (C or above).
The Office of Undergraduate Admission uses a weighted 4.0 scale for core courses (English, math, science, social studies, foreign language). They add +1.0 weight for AP/IB/DE courses but cap at 5.0. Use our weighted gpa calculator uva logic: enter your high school grades with weights to approximate admissions review. For current UVA students, the registrar does not weight — our calculator matches official university policy.
Common scenarios: Koofers-style and science GPA
Many pre-med students search for “science gpa calculator uva” — simply select BCPM courses (Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Math) in our tool. Likewise, the “koofers uva gpa calculator” estimates have been replaced by our more accurate engine. We also support ureg uva gpa calculator (registrar-equivalent) and uva sfs gpa calculator for financial aid SAP requirements.
Checklist: maximize your UVA GPA (quick tips)
- ✅ Retake policy: if you earn a C- or below, retaking improves GPA (original remains but excluded from calculation).
- ✅ Use SIS (Student Information System) grade projection — our calculator mirrors SIS logic.
- ✅ Plan your semester: spread difficult courses; 15–16 credits optimal for balance.
- ✅ Incomplete (IN) grades convert to F after deadline unless resolved.
Sample calculation – Semester Example (Spring 2026)
| Course | Credits | Grade | Grade Points | Quality Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PSYC 2600 | 3 | A- | 3.7 | 11.1 |
| MATH 1320 | 4 | B+ | 3.3 | 13.2 |
| ENGL 2500 | 3 | A | 4.0 | 12.0 |
| EVSC 1010 | 3 | B- | 2.7 | 8.1 |
| Total | 13 credits | 44.4 | ||
Semester GPA = 44.4 ÷ 13 = 3.415. This matches the UVA registrar method exactly.

Enter only the courses designated for your major (consult DARS report). Use our calculator, exclude electives. The grade point scale remains identical.
UVA Wise uses the same plus/minus scale and 4.0 system. Our calculator works for both Charlottesville and Wise campuses.
Graduate courses follow the same grade points, though B- is often the minimum passing grade. Use our tool with your graduate courses.
Same formula: Σ(credits × grade point) / Σ credits. No additional weighting.
