What does this tool do?
An unweighted GPA gives every course the same maximum value, so an honours class does not receive extra points. Select up to four letter grades to see the average on a 4.0 scale.
The Formula
Unweighted GPA = Sum of course grade points ÷ Number of coursesFrequently Asked Questions
Does an unweighted GPA reward honours courses?
Not directly. An A in an honours course and an A in a regular course both contribute 4.0. Weighted GPAs add a bonus for advanced courses instead.
How are plus and minus grades handled?
This calculator uses a common table: A− 3.7, B+ 3.3, B− 2.7, C+ 2.3 and so on. Your school may round or scale these differently.
