Grading Notations
Beyond the standard A–F letter grades (with plus/minus refinements), Pace uses several special notations:
- K (Grade Pending): assigned in specific courses or special circumstances with permission of the assistant/associate dean; the extension may not exceed one year from the end of the semester in which the K grade is assigned.
- I (Incomplete): becomes an F if not made up within six weeks.
- I-F: an unauthorized withdrawal, not eligible for makeup work.
- W (Authorized Withdrawal) and AUD (Auditor): no credit is granted for an audited course.

Quality Point Average (QPA) Calculation
The quality point average (QPA) is obtained by dividing the total number of quality points earned by the number of credits attempted at Pace. Credits attempted include a grade of "F", but exclude grades of "W", "I-R", "K", "P", "SAT", "UNS", and "AUD".

Frequently asked questions
Can I save my semesters and track my CGPA at Pace University?
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 Pace University?
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 Pace University GPA calculator free?
Yes — GPAWise is completely free to use. There's no signup, no paywall, and your inputs stay in your browser.
