The standard grading system for most courses is a letter grade. A letter grade of A through F will be assigned to reflect the instructor’s academic assessment of the student’s performance in the course.
For more information regarding changes to an alternative grading basis, please visit the Enrollment Information page.
Although UC Berkeley Extension does not calculate or record an official grade point average (GPA) on the student's transcript, GPAs can be unofficially calculated on the basis of grades and number of units. Grades with a plus sign (such as B+) carry 0.3 point more per unit; minus grades (such as A-) carry 0.3 point less. (An A+ counts as 4.0.)
| Grade | Grade Points |
|---|---|
| A | 4.0 |

| C | 2.0 |
| D | 1.0 |
