How University of Chicago calculates GPA
University of Chicago (Illinois) 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 UChicago grade scale — what makes it specific
A+ rule: UChicago uses a standard 4.0 plus/minus scale; the College does not award grade points above 4.0 (an A+ in a Booth course counts as 4.0 in the College).
Failing grade: University of Chicago uses "F" for a failing grade (0.0).
Repeated courses & grade replacement
Repeating a course does not replace the original grade — all attempts are included in the GPA.
Academic standing
Minimum 2.0 GPA each quarter (300 units of passing work). UChicago is on the quarter system.
Good to know
UChicago uses a standard 4.0 plus/minus scale and explicitly caps GPA at 4.0 — even an A+ earned in a Chicago Booth course converts to 4.0 in the College's GPA. It's on the quarter system, and repeated courses don't replace the original: all attempts count toward the GPA.
