http://www.csumentor.edu/planning/high_school/gpa_calculator.asp is the weighted capped GPA calculation used by UCs and CSUs (commonly called “UC GPA”). Most published GPAs in UC web pages and reports refer to this GPA, unless otherwise specified.

UC admission readers will see three variants of GPA:

  • Unweighted, otherwise calculated as above.
  • Weighted capped, calculated as above.
  • Fully weighted, calculated as above but without the limitation of 8 semesters of honors +1 points.
