UIUC GPA Grade Scale

UIUC GPA grade scale

UIUC uses a 4.00 grading scale with plus and minus grades.

The grade-point values used by the calculator are:

• A+ = 4.00
• A = 4.00
• A- = 3.67
• B+ = 3.33
• B = 3.00
• B- = 2.67
• C+ = 2.33
• C = 2.00
• C- = 1.67
• D+ = 1.33
• D = 1.00
• D- = 0.67
• F = 0.00

A+ and A are both 4.00

An A+ does not raise the GPA above the value of an A because both grades carry 4.00 grade points in the UIUC scale.

How the scale affects GPA

The grade-point value is multiplied by the course's GPA hours to determine quality points. Higher-credit courses therefore have a larger effect on the final GPA than lower-credit courses with the same letter grade.

Why excluded grades are different from F

A non-GPA transcript symbol should not automatically be treated as 0.00 grade points. An F contributes GPA hours with 0.00 grade points, while an excluded course contributes neither GPA hours nor quality points.
