How to Convert a Letter Grade to GPA
Before you can convert a letter grade to a grade point average (GPA), you need to understand how both performance evaluation systems work. Typically, in the U.S., the standard grade system is composed of letter grades ‘A’, ‘B’, ‘C’, ‘D’, and ‘F’, and the standard GPA scale is a numerical range from 0.0 to 4.0.
To convert from a letter to a numerical GPA, you can reference a chart like this:
| Letter Grade | GPA |
|---|---|
| A | 4.0 |
| B | 3.0 |
| C | 2.0 |
| D | 1.0 |
| F | 0.0 |
Some institutions use the plus/minus grading scale, where each letter grade can have a plus (+) or minus (-) to indicate higher or lower performance within a grade range. The table below shows the GPA for these letter grades:
| Letter Grade | GPA |
|---|---|
| A+ | 4.33 |
| A | 4.0 |
| A- | 3.67 |
| B+ | 3.33 |
| B | 3.0 |
| B- | 2.67 |
| C+ | 2.33 |
| C | 2.0 |
| C- | 1.67 |
| D+ | 1.33 |
| D | 1.0 |
| D- | 0.67 |
| F | 0.0 |
