The Math

How Georgia Tech GPA Is Calculated

Georgia Tech multiplies each grade value by credit hours to get quality points, then divides total quality points by total graded credit hours and truncates to two decimals.

Georgia Tech GPA Formula
\[ \text{GPA} = \frac{\displaystyle\sum \text{Quality Points}}{\displaystyle\sum \text{Graded Credit Hours}} = \frac{\displaystyle\sum (\text{Grade Value} \times \text{Credit Hours})}{\displaystyle\sum \text{Credit Hours}} \]
Quality PointsGrade value × credit hours for each graded course
Graded Credit HoursLetter-graded hours only (excludes S/U, W, I, V)

📝 Worked Example

An official Georgia Tech style example. Note that the Pass/Fail course is excluded from the GPA:

CourseCredit HoursBasisGradeQuality Points
MATH 15514LetterB4 × 3 = 12
ENGL 11013LetterA3 × 4 = 12
FREN 10013Pass/FailSexcluded — 0
PSYC 11011LetterA1 × 4 = 4
Total (graded)828

Only the 8 graded credit hours count. Plugging into the formula:

\[ \text{GPA} = \frac{28}{8} = \mathbf{3.50} \]

The Conversion Formula

Georgia Tech uses a 4.0 scale, so:

\[ \text{Percentage} = \text{GPA} \times 25 \quad \text{or equivalently} \quad \text{Percentage} = \left(\frac{\text{GPA}}{4.0}\right) \times 100 \]

Example: If your GPA is 3.5, then Percentage = 3.5 × 25 = 87.50%.

Georgia Tech GPA — Frequently Asked Questions

What GPA scale does Georgia Tech use?

Georgia Tech uses a straight 4.0 grade-point scale with no plus or minus grades: A = 4.0, B = 3.0, C = 2.0, D = 1.0, and F = 0.0. There is no A−, B+, or similar value in the official GPA calculation.

Does Georgia Tech round or truncate the GPA?

Georgia Tech truncates the GPA to two decimal places rather than rounding. For example, a raw GPA of 3.579 is reported as 3.57, not 3.58.

How is Georgia Tech GPA calculated?

Multiply each course's credit hours by its grade value to get quality points, sum all quality points, then divide by total graded credit hours: GPA = Total Quality Points ÷ Total Graded Credit Hours, truncated to two decimals.

Which grades are excluded from my Georgia Tech GPA?

Marks of W, I, V, and S/U (Pass/Fail) carry no quality points and are excluded from graded credit hours, so they don't affect your GPA. Transfer grades are also not used in the Georgia Tech GPA.

How do I convert my Georgia Tech GPA to a percentage?

Use Percentage = GPA × 25 (equivalent to (GPA ÷ 4.0) × 100). For example, a GPA of 3.5 converts to 87.5%.
