How grades convert to points here

University of California, Irvine uses plus/minus grading but caps A+ at 4.00 — the same value as a plain A. Practically, that means there is no reward in the GPA for exceptional work beyond an A, while an A- still costs you 0.3 points. The scale is asymmetric, and it slightly depresses averages relative to schools that award 4.33.

Pass/No Pass coursework is excluded entirely from GPA calculation.

Latin honors at University of California, Irvine

Latin honors at University of California, Irvine are determined by department rather than centrally, so the requirement depends on your major. Some departments set a GPA threshold, others require a thesis, comprehensive examination, or faculty recommendation — GPA alone may not be sufficient or even the primary criterion.

Check with your department directly rather than relying on a university-wide number. The variation between departments at schools using this model is wide enough that a GPA earning honors in one major may not in another.

Standing, honors lists, and retakes

Good academic standing at University of California, Irvine requires a cumulative GPA of at least 2.0. Falling below it typically triggers academic warning, then probation, with dismissal only after sustained shortfall — the escalation gives time to recover.

The Dean's List threshold is a 3.50 term GPA. Because it resets every term, it is the one recognition that is always reachable next semester no matter what your transcript looks like today.

On repeated courses: For the first 16 repeated units, the new grade replaces the old one in GPA (even if lower), though the old grade still appears on the transcript; beyond 16 units, both grades are averaged into the GPA.

One detail specific to this school

A student who originally received No Pass in a course may retake it either P/NP or for a letter grade, but a student who originally took the course for a letter grade must repeat it for a letter grade — the P/NP door only swings one way.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does University of California, Irvine use plus/minus grading?▾
Yes, with one exception: A+ is worth 4.00, the same as an A. Minus grades reduce your average but an A+ cannot raise it above 4.00.
What GPA do you need to stay in good standing at University of California, Irvine?▾
A cumulative 2.0. Dropping below it usually starts with a warning rather than immediate probation, and schools generally allow at least one term to recover before more serious consequences apply.
If I retake a course at University of California, Irvine, does the old grade still count?▾
For the first 16 repeated units, the new grade replaces the old one in GPA (even if lower), though the old grade still appears on the transcript; beyond 16 units, both grades are averaged into the GPA.
How accurate is this calculator for my transcript?▾
Close, for ordinary cases. The calculation follows University of California, Irvine's documented grade-point values, but transfer credits, repeated-course adjustments, and any department-specific rules can shift the official number. Treat this as an estimate and the transcript as authoritative.
