How to use the GPA excluding pass/fail calculator
Pass/fail courses count toward earned credits but carry no grade points, so dividing by every credit on the transcript pushes a GPA off in one direction or the other. This page removes the pass/fail courses from the GPA only, then shows how many credits they represent, what share of your total they are, and what your GPA would have looked like had they been graded.
A numeric grade point in the grade column is included in the GPA; P, S or CR is left out of the GPA but still counts toward earned credits. NP, U or NC means no credit was earned, so those courses count toward neither earned credits nor pass/fail credits. A letter F is a graded 0, so enter 0 for it. The GPA is the credit-weighted sum of the graded courses divided by the graded credits, shown to two decimals. Enter an assumed grade and the page fills the pass/fail credits at that value and reports the difference from the real figure.
Pass/fail credit caps differ by school, so the cap is entered. This page does not recalculate for retakes or grade exclusion, and it does not convert letter grades, so enter grades as grade point values.
Frequently asked questions
No. A letter F is a graded result worth 0 quality points, so enter 0 in the grade column. Pass/fail markers are for courses that never receive a grade point, and a failed pass/fail course is entered as NP.
No. Pass/fail courses drop out of the GPA calculation only; they still count toward the credits you need to graduate. This page includes them in total credits earned and excludes them from graded credits alone.
It compares what your GPA would have been if the pass/fail courses had carried a grade. Enter a value and the page shows the GPA with those credits filled in at that grade and the difference from your real GPA; leave it blank to skip the comparison.
