University of Pennsylvania (U Penn) GPA Calculator

Penn grades undergraduates on a 4.0 scale: A+ and A both count as 4.0, A- as 3.7, B+ as 3.3, B as 3.0, B- as 2.7, C+ as 2.3, C as 2.0, C- as 1.7, D+ as 1.3, D as 1.0, and F as 0.0. There is no D-. This scale is shared across all of Penn's undergraduate schools — the College of Arts & Sciences, the School of Engineering and Applied Science, the School of Nursing, and The Wharton School — though each school sets its own procedural policies around grading.

Your grade point average (GPA) is calculated at the end of every term based on Penn's grading scale. Policies regarding grades vary by school, so students should consult their academic advisors about school-specific grading and GPA procedures.

Penn expects students to maintain a minimum level of academic performance or risk being placed on Academic Probation. Requirements for good academic standing vary by school; students enrolled in more than one undergraduate school are subject to the academic standing policies of both schools.

No, not since July 1, 2023. Before that date, the Dean's List citation appeared on the transcript and was awarded annually to any student who achieved a combined GPA of 3.7 for the fall and spring semesters, provided they completed 6 or more credit units for letter grades, received no grades lower than C, and completed all courses on time with no Incompletes, NRs, or GRs. A sanction of probation or greater for a Code of Academic Integrity, Code of Student Conduct, or Sexual Violence/Relationship Violence/Stalking Policy violation made a student ineligible for that academic year.
