How the UC transfer GPA calculation works
2. Convert units consistently
Semester units are used directly. Quarter units are divided by 1.5 so courses from different academic calendars can be combined in one weighted calculation.
3. Multiply units by grade points
Each included letter grade is converted to UC grade points. The course points equal semester-equivalent units multiplied by the grade value.
4. Audit the final result
Total grade points are divided by total GPA units. The displayed result is truncated to two decimal places, while the target planner uses the untruncated totals.
Core formula
UC Transfer GPA = Total grade points ÷ Total GPA units
A 4.5-quarter-unit B+ course becomes 3 semester-equivalent units and contributes 9.9 grade points.
