Keeping track of your GPA at UC Berkeley can be tricky. With a unique grading system, semester schedule, and complex rules for repeats and honors, it’s easy to get confused. That’s where the Berkeley GPA Calculator comes in — a free, easy-to-use tool made specifically for Cal students.
What Makes It Different?
Different from general-purpose GPA tools, this one is tailored to Berkeley’s system. It factors in the semester structure, plus/minus grades, and even UC Berkeley’s policies on repeating classes or dealing with incompletes.
For example, if you got an A in a 3-unit class and a B+ in a 4-unit class, here’s how it works:
A (3 units) = 12.0 grade points
B+ (4 units) = 13.2 grade points
Total GPA = (12 + 13.2) ÷ 7 units = 3.6 GPA
The calculator handles all that for you - no spreadsheets, no guesswork.
Why Berkeley’s GPA System Is Unique
UC Berkeley does things a little differently:
Semester system: Unlike quarter-based campuses like UCSD, you only get two main terms per year—so each grade matters more.
Grade policies: Not all repeated courses replace your old grade, and that’s taken into account here.
Honors tiers: UC Berkeley awards honors like Distinction and Highest Distinction based on exact GPA cutoffs, so knowing your GPA down to the decimal matters.
This calculator reflects all of that - something most general GPA tools don’t.
How It Helps You
Here’s why every Cal student should use the Berkeley GPA Calculator:
Clarity: You’ll always know where you stand academically - no surprises.
Planning: Whether you’re aiming for graduate school, a scholarship, or just trying to stay off probation, this tool helps you make smart decisions.
Free & simple: It’s 100% free and doesn’t ask for your email or student ID.
