GPA = sum(quality points × quality hours) ÷ sum(quality hours)
Rules as of UWI Assessment and GPA Regulations (revised August 2020; GPA Regulations effective August 2014). Status: confirmed against The University of the West Indies: Assessment and GPA Regulations on 4 November 2026.
- Quality points: A+ 4.30, A 4.00, A- 3.70, B+ 3.30, B 3.00, B- 2.70, C+ 2.30, C 2.00, F1 1.70, F2 1.30, F3 0.00.
- Classes go by the weighted GPA, with weights for Level I, II and III courses set in each Faculty's regulations. The Bachelor of Medical Sciences, MBBS, DDS and associate degrees are classed differently.
- A first degree or an associate degree needs a GPA of at least 2.00.
- Except where a Faculty's regulations say otherwise, a semester GPA below 2.00 means academic warning, and a student on warning whose next semester GPA is 1.99 or less is required to withdraw.
- UWI states no rounding rule, so the GPA is shown unrounded: 4 decimals, the rest cut off.

How UWI works out a GPA
UWI's GPA Regulations (effective August 2014, in the Assessment Regulations revised August 2020) define the GPA for first degrees, associate degrees, diplomas and certificates at every campus.
GPA = total grade points ÷ total quality hours
- A course's quality hours are its credits. Grade points are its quality hours × the quality points of its grade.
- Quality hours count even for F1, F2 and F3, so a failed course pulls the GPA down.
- Pass/fail, audited, preliminary and not for credit courses stay out, as do I (Incomplete) and IP (In Progress).
Worked example: a GPA of 2.75
This made-up example comes from GradeCat's research on UWI's rule: four 3-credit courses.
| Grade | Credits | Quality points | Grade points |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | 3 | 4.00 | 12 |
| B+ | 3 | 3.30 | 9.9 |
| C | 3 | 2.00 | 6 |
| F1 | 3 | 1.70 | 5.1 |
(12 + 9.9 + 6 + 5.1) ÷ 12 = 2.75. The F1 is a fail, but its 3 credits still count. With equal weights for every level, 2.75 is a Lower Second Class Honours, which runs from 2.50 to 2.99.
A St. Augustine example from the same research: 3-credit courses at A-, B and C+ give (11.1 + 9.0 + 6.9) ÷ 9 = 3.00, an Upper Second on equal weights.
UWI class of degree
| Class | Weighted GPA |
|---|---|
| First Class Honours | 3.60 and above |
| Upper Second Class Honours | 3.00 to 3.59 |
| Lower Second Class Honours | 2.50 to 2.99 |
| Pass | 2.00 to 2.49 |
UWI classes a degree on a weighted GPA. The weights for Level I, II and III courses are set in each Faculty's regulations, which GradeCat has not checked, so this calculator shows the class on equal weights. The Bachelor of Medical Sciences, MBBS, DDS and associate degrees are classed differently.
Warning, withdrawal and graduating
A degree needs a GPA of at least 2.00. A semester GPA below 2.00 means academic warning. A student on warning whose next semester GPA is 1.99 or less is required to withdraw, unless the Faculty's regulations say otherwise.
UWI GPA FAQ
How does UWI calculate GPA?
Multiply each course's credits by the quality points of its grade, add these grade points up, and divide by the total credits. Four 3-credit courses at A, B+, C and F1 give 33 ÷ 12 = 2.75.
What GPA do I need for First Class Honours at UWI?
A weighted GPA of 3.60 or more. An Upper Second is 3.00 to 3.59, a Lower Second 2.50 to 2.99 and a Pass 2.00 to 2.49.
Is an A+ worth more than 4.00 at UWI?
Yes. An A+ (90 to 100) is worth 4.30 quality points, an A (80 to 89) 4.00 and an A- (75 to 79) 3.70.
Do failed courses count in my UWI GPA?
Yes. F1, F2 and F3 keep their quality hours, worth 1.70, 1.30 and 0.00 points.
Is the GPA the same at Mona, St. Augustine and Cave Hill?
Yes. One set of UWI regulations covers every campus. Level weights and repeat rules come from each Faculty's own regulations.
