4 classesUC Berkeley uses the standard 4.0 scale with +/- grading. Notably, A+ at Berkeley caps at 4.0 (not 4.3) for cumulative GPA purposes — it appears on the transcript but doesn’t raise your GPA above 4.0. Berkeley also allows Pass/No Pass (P/NP) grading for many electives; P/NP doesn’t affect GPA.

FAQ — UC Berkeley
01What is a good UC Berkeley GPA?
A 3.0 cumulative GPA at Berkeley is considered solid given grade-deflation pressure in some majors. 3.5+ qualifies for Dean’s Honors each semester. Honors at graduation: Distinction 3.55+, High Distinction 3.75+, Highest Distinction 3.85+. Berkeley’s top professional schools (Haas, Engineering) typically expect 3.5+ for admission.
02Does Berkeley count A+ as 4.0 or 4.3?
A+ at UC Berkeley counts as 4.0 toward your cumulative GPA — it appears as A+ on the transcript but does not raise GPA above 4.0. This means a student with all A+ grades has the same 4.0 GPA as a student with all straight A grades.
03How does Berkeley’s Pass/No Pass system affect GPA?
Many Berkeley courses can be taken P/NP (Pass / No Pass). P or NP does not factor into GPA — they don’t add or subtract grade points. Most major requirements must be taken for a letter grade; P/NP is reserved for breadth electives. Pass requires a grade of C- or better.
04What is the minimum GPA to stay at UC Berkeley?
Undergraduates need a 2.0 cumulative GPA to remain in good standing. Below 2.0 triggers academic probation, and sustained underperformance can lead to dismissal. Many majors (College of Engineering, Haas Business, EECS) impose major-specific GPA minimums of 2.5-3.0 for continuation.
