GPA to Letter Grade: Full Conversion Guide
Converting a letter grade list to Grade Point Average (GPA) values (or vice versa) is necessary when comparing transcripts across institutions. Most universities record academic records using letter standings while admissions departments translate them into standard GPA points.
The Standard Conversion Mapping
This conversion relies on standard 4.0 scale translation:
- A+ / A = 4.0
- A- = 3.7
- B+ = 3.3
- B = 3.0
- B- = 2.7
- C+ = 2.3
- C = 2.0
- C- = 1.7
- D = 1.0
- F = 0.0
Dynamic Calculation
If you have multiple courses with credit weights, you must multiply credit hours by the grade point equivalent for each course before dividing by total attempted credits.
