Understanding the Loyola Grading System

At Loyola University, academic performance is measured using a quality point system. This 4.0 scale determines your eligibility for the Dean's List, scholarships, and graduation honors. Our Loyola GPA calculator follows the official weighting used by the Registrar.

Loyola Grade Point Values

A (4.00)	A- (3.67)	B+ (3.33)	B (3.00)
B- (2.67)	C+ (2.33)	C (2.00)	C- (1.67)
D+ (1.33)	D (1.00)	F (0.00)

How to Calculate Your GPA Manually

To calculate your Grade Point Average, follow these steps:

1. Identify Quality Points: Multiply the point value of your grade (e.g., 3.33 for a B+) by the number of credit hours for that course.
2. Sum Quality Points: Add up all the quality points earned in the semester.
3. Sum Credit Hours: Add up the total number of credit hours attempted (only those that carry a letter grade).
4. Divide: Divide the total Quality Points by the total Credit Hours.

Example Calculation

If you took three courses at Loyola:

• Theology (3 credits): Grade A (4.0) = 12.0 Quality Points
• Biology (4 credits): Grade B (3.0) = 12.0 Quality Points
• English (3 credits): Grade C+ (2.33) = 6.99 Quality Points

Total Points: 30.99 | Total Credits: 10
GPA: 30.99 / 10 = 3.099 (3.10)
