How grades convert to points here

Worcester Polytechnic Institute grades in whole letters. There is no A- or B+ to convert, so an A is 4.0, a B is 3.0, and the arithmetic is simpler than at most schools — but it also means a grade sitting at the boundary rounds fully one way or the other, with no partial credit for landing just under an A.

Latin honors at Worcester Polytechnic Institute

Worcester Polytechnic Institute does not award traditional Latin honors. That reflects a deliberate institutional position rather than an oversight — schools in this group generally argue that ranking students against each other distorts the point of the education.

Standing, honors lists, and retakes

On repeated courses: A repeated course counts in the GPA only once, using the most recent grade received.

Worth knowing about Worcester Polytechnic Institute

WPI does not compute a cumulative GPA for undergraduates at all — Dean's List is instead based on the amount of A-level project and coursework completed, and a numeric GPA equivalent (A=4.0, B=3.0, C=2.0, DIST=4.0, AC=2.75) is only generated on request for external uses like grad-school applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Worcester Polytechnic Institute use plus/minus grading?
No. Worcester Polytechnic Institute grades in whole letters only, so there is no A- or B+ to account for. Each letter maps to a single grade-point value.
If I retake a course at Worcester Polytechnic Institute, does the old grade still count?
A repeated course counts in the GPA only once, using the most recent grade received.
Will this match what my registrar shows?
It should track your official GPA for standard coursework at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. Discrepancies usually come from transfer credit, pass/fail courses, or a repeat policy applied to an earlier attempt — all of which the registrar handles and a calculator cannot see.
