TP Grading System
Your progress within a course of study is evaluated based on the Grade Point Average (GPA), a numerical value that indicates your academic achievement in the course. GPA = sum(credit units assigned to subject x subject grade point) / sum(credit units assigned to subject).
Grading table: Z (Grade Point 4.0) — Distinction, awarded to up to the top 5% of candidates taking the subject, = or >80%. A (4.0) — Excellent, = or >80%. B+ (3.5) — Very Good, 75 to

GPA Calculation Rules
Worked example: five subjects with credit units 4, 4, 4, 4, 3 (total 19) and grades A, A, B, C, D (grade points 4, 4, 3, 2, 1) give total credit points of 55; GPA = 55 / 19 = 2.89.
Semester GPA and Cumulative GPA (cGPA) are calculated at the end of the semester/year. If a student repeats a subject after failing it, the new grade replaces the previous failed grade (0 grade point), and the new grade point is used in the calculation of semester GPA and cGPA. The transcript of results shows all subjects taken, together with the grades.

Academic Standing
Results slips show one of the following: Proceed to next semester (if you have passed all subjects in the current semester); Proceed to next semester (Academic Warning) — given if you fail a core subject once and have not passed it, your cGPA is below 1.0 for two consecutive semesters, or you are in your ninth semester and have not fulfilled the graduation requirements; Removal (if you have met the removal criteria); Extended Probation (if you were removed but reinstated — you must obtain a cGPA of at least 1.0 by the end of the Extended Probation semester or pass the failed subject(s), otherwise you will be removed); Complete course of study (if you have met the stipulated course graduation requirements).
Criteria for Removal: you will be removed from your course of study if you have not fulfilled the graduation requirements within the stipulated maximum time allowed to complete the course; you have a cGPA below 1.0 for three consecutive semesters; or you have not passed a TPFun subject, a diploma core, or a required diploma option subject in two attempts.

Your cumulative GPA is the credit-weighted average of your semester GPAs across every semester: (semester GPA₁ × credits₁ + … + semester GPAₙ × creditsₙ) ÷ (credits₁ + … + creditsₙ). Save each semester to the tracker on this page, by course or as a quick semester GPA + credits entry, and it works out your cumulative GPA on every save, edit and delete.
Is this TP GPA calculator free, and is my data private?
Yes. GPAWise is free, with no signup, and your courses and saved semesters stay in your browser: nothing is sent to our servers. "Clear all tracker data" on the tracker wipes them at any time.
