How University of California, Davis calculates GPA
University of California, Davis (California) calculates GPA as a credit-weighted average: multiply each course's grade points by its credits, add them up, and divide by total credits. The detail that matters is the grade scale.
The UC Davis grade scale — what makes it specific
A+ rule: UC Davis follows the UC system rule: A+ is capped at 4.0 (same as A). Only A, B, C, D take +/- (no D-). Minus = -0.3, plus = +0.3 (except A+).
Failing grade: University of California, Davis uses "F" for a failing grade (0.0).
Repeated courses & grade replacement
Follows UC repeat policy (limited grade replacement, then all attempts count). Quarter system. P = C- or better and doesn't affect GPA.
