How your result is calculated
- GPA = quality points ÷ credits attempted in courses graded A+ through F or XF; quality points = grade value × credits. P, S, I, NGR and W are left out. A+ and A both carry 4.0.
- XF (failure due to academic dishonesty) is treated as F in the cumulative average.
- Repeats: one repeat per course (more only with the dean's exception) and no more than 18 repeated credits. All attempts graded A+ through F count in the GPA, except that only the higher grade counts when the repeated course was taken in the student's first semester at UMD or within the first 24 credits attempted (including transfer credits).
- Repeat by transfer: if a course taken within the first 24 credits attempted is repeated elsewhere and the transfer grade is higher, the original grade is excluded from the GPA; after that point the original grade stays in.
- Pass-fail: one course per semester, at most 12 credits, electives only, for students with 30 credits and a GPA of at least 2.0. A+ to C- become P (not in the GPA); D+, D, D- and F stay as given and count in the semester and overall averages.
- An I is not used in computing quality points or GPAs; if the contract work is not completed on time (usually the next semester, at most one year) the instructor converts it to the contract grade.
- Academic clemency can remove up to 16 credits from the cumulative GPA.

Questions
How is UMD Semester average calculated?
Semester average is the average of your grade points weighted by credits: multiply each course's credits by the grade point for your grade, add these up, and divide by the total credits. Under Undergraduate marking system, A+ carries 4 grade points on a 4-point scale.
How is UMD Cumulative average calculated?
Cumulative average is the average of the grade points of all courses taken so far, weighted by credits.
Is OpenCGPA an official UMD calculator?
No. OpenCGPA is independent and not affiliated with University of Maryland, College Park. It applies the rules published in UMD's own documents, linked on this page. Your official result is the one on your grade card.
