Tools
Which tool do I need?
- What is my CGPA? Use the Makerere CGPA Calculator. Enter each course's credit units and letter grade. 4 CU at B+, 3 CU at C+, 4 CU at A and 3 CU at D give 54.5 grade points over 14 credit units, a CGPA of about 3.89.
- What class of degree is my CGPA? The same calculator shows it: First Class from 4.40, Second Class Upper from 3.60 and Second Class Lower from 2.80.
- What letter grade is my mark? The Makerere Grading Scale has the marks table: 78 is a B+, worth 4.5 grade points.
- What percentage are my marks? The Grade Calculator adds up marks out of any total, and the Weighted Grade Calculator combines coursework and an exam with their weights.
How Makerere grading works
Makerere's grading page turns each course's mark into a letter grade with a grade point: an A+ (90 to 100) and an A (80 to 89) are both worth 5, a B+ (75 to 79) is worth 4.5, and so on down to F, below 40, worth 0. A course's grade points are its credit units times its grade point.
Credits are earned with a D (50) or better. An E (45 to 49) and an E- (40 to 44) are fails, but they still carry grade points of 1.5 and 1.
