How Grades Translate to Quality Points

Georgia Tech's letter grades A, B, C, D and F are the only ones that carry quality points toward your GPA — worth 4, 3, 2, 1 and 0 respectively. There is no A+ at Georgia Tech.

The Institute does not fix a single percentage-to-letter conversion campus-wide. Each instructor sets and publishes their own grading criteria on the course syllabus, so the percentage that earns an A in one class may not be the cutoff in another — check the individual course syllabus rather than assume a universal scale.

Several other marks appear on a Georgia Tech transcript but carry no quality points and are not counted in your GPA at all: S/U (Pass/Fail-basis courses), V (audit), W (withdrawal without penalty), I (incomplete), NR (not reported) and IJ (incomplete pending an academic-integrity investigation).

How Your Academic Average Is Calculated

Georgia Tech calls your GPA the academic average: total quality points earned divided by total credit hours attempted.

For each course you pass, multiply the course's credit hours by the numerical value of the letter grade earned to get that course's quality points — for example, a C in a 3-credit-hour course earns 6 quality points.

Your average is truncated, not rounded, after two decimal places.

If you repeat a course you've already received credit for, both grades stay in your average and the credit is counted only once — the later grade does not erase the earlier one, unless an approved grade-substitution request applies. Courses taken on a Pass/Fail basis are excluded from the academic average entirely.

Undergraduates' average includes all courses taken as an undergraduate; graduate students' average includes only courses taken after entering the graduate division.

Frequently asked questions

Can I save my semesters and track my CGPA at Georgia Tech?
Yes. After you calculate a semester's GPA, click "Save as semester" to add it to the built-in CGPA tracker, which then computes your cumulative GPA across every saved semester using the standard weighted formula (Σ SGPA × credits ÷ Σ credits). You can save semesters by course (full breakdown) or quick-add a past semester with just the SGPA and credit hours. Locking, renaming, and deleting saved semesters are all supported, and the tracker shows a running CGPA plus a trend arrow versus your previous semester.
How do I convert SGPA to CGPA at Georgia Tech?
Your CGPA is the credit-weighted average of every semester's SGPA. The formula is: CGPA = (SGPA₁ × credits₁ + SGPA₂ × credits₂ + … + SGPAₙ × creditsₙ) ÷ (credits₁ + credits₂ + … + creditsₙ). On this page, add each semester to the CGPA tracker (either by course or as a quick SGPA + credit-hours entry) and the calculator runs the conversion for you on every save, edit, and delete — no manual arithmetic required.
Can I add past semester GPAs without entering every course?
Yes. On the My CGPA Tracker tab, click "Add semester" and choose the quick-add option. You enter just the SGPA and the credit hours for that semester — no course-by-course breakdown required. It works as a GPA calculator with previous semesters support, or as a GPA calculator without course details when you only remember the SGPA from your transcript. Quick-added and course-by-course semesters can be mixed freely; both contribute to your CGPA using the same credit-weighted formula.
Is my CGPA tracker data sent to your servers?
No. Your saved semesters are stored locally in your browser only — nothing is transmitted to GPAWise. A "Clear all tracker data" button is always available on the tracker tab to wipe the data on demand.
Is this Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) GPA calculator free?
Yes — GPAWise is completely free to use. There's no signup, no paywall, and your inputs stay in your browser.
Does Georgia Tech have an A+ grade?

No. Georgia Tech's grading scale runs A (4), B (3), C (2), D (1) and F (0) — there is no A+ and no plus/minus variants at all. An A is always worth 4.00 quality points, with no higher grade available.

Are Pass/Fail (S/U) grades counted in my GPA?

No. Georgia Tech states this twice in its grading policy: grades of S (Satisfactory) and U (Unsatisfactory), used for Pass/Fail-basis courses, carry no quality points and are not included in the calculation of your grade-point average.

If I repeat a course, does the old grade disappear from my GPA?

No. When you repeat a course you've already received credit for, the academic average includes both the original and the later grade — the credit hours are only counted once, but neither grade is dropped, unless you have an approved grade-substitution request on file.

Is my Georgia Tech GPA rounded to two decimal places?

No — it's truncated, not rounded. Georgia Tech's catalog states grade-point averages are cut off after two decimal places rather than rounded up or down, so, for example, a 3.999 academic average displays as 3.99, not 4.00.
