How do I compute my GPA in Philippine universities?

Multiply each subject grade (1.0–5.0 scale) by its units, sum all, then divide by total units. Lower GPA values indicate better performance.

What is the passing grade in the Philippines GPA system?

Most Philippine universities consider 3.0 as the minimum passing grade. 5.0 is a failing mark, and 4.0 is often a conditional failure.

Does failing grade (5.0) affect my GPA?

Yes. 5.0 is computed with full units (e.g., 5.0 × units). It significantly lowers your GPA, so retaking the course is recommended.

How to Calculate GPA Philippines (Step-by-Step)

Most Philippine colleges (UP, ADMU, UST, Mapúa) follow the 1.0 to 5.0 grading system. To compute your GPA Philippines manually or using our tool:

Step 1: List all subjects, their corresponding final grade (1.0, 1.25, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0) and credit units.
Step 2: Multiply each grade by the number of units → Grade Points (GP).
Step 3: Sum all grade points → Total Quality Points.
Step 4: Divide Total Quality Points by total units → GPA.

Formula: GPA = Σ (Grade × Units) / Σ Units. Example: Math (1.5 × 3 = 4.5), English (2.0 × 3 = 6.0) → total 10.5 ÷ 6 units = 1.75 GPA.
