UCC CGPA Calculator
Your Cumulative Grade Point Average the way the University of Cape Coast defines it: every course you have taken, pooled as if they were all in one semester. Not the average of your semester GPAs — UCC's own page says so in as many words.
UCC's bands: 1st Class 3.6–4.0 · 2nd Upper 3.0–3.5 · 2nd Lower 2.5–2.9 · 3rd Class 2.0–2.4 · Pass 1.0–1.9. Below 50 in a course earns 0 points.
Your courses
Add each semester's courses with their credit hours and marks — the grade points come from UCC's own table (note: below 50 earns 0 points at UCC). An audited course carries 0 points and still counts; an incomplete (IC) course is left out until it is rectified. Seeded with a worked example — clear it and type your own.
The worked example, by hand
Semester 1 (15 credits) earns 46.5 grade points → GPA 3.10. Semester 2 (18 credits) earns 48.0 → GPA 2.67. Averaging those two GPAs gives 2.88 — and it is not your CGPA. Pooling gives (46.5 + 48.0) ÷ (15 + 18) = 94.5 ÷ 33 = 2.86, because the weaker semester was also the bigger one. Both semesters are loaded in the calculator above; the grading guide sets out the full table and bands.
UCC is not UG with a different name
- Below 50 = 0 points. UG gives 0.5 points for 45–49; UCC's E covers everything under 50 at 0.
- The middle bands differ. Second Lower starts at 2.5 at UCC (2.0 at UG); Third Class is 2.0–2.4 (1.50–1.99 at UG).
- An audited course carries 0 points and counts; an incomplete is left out until rectified.
UCC CGPA questions
How is the CGPA calculated at UCC?
By pooling. Add up every course’s grade points multiplied by its credits — across all semesters, as if they were one semester — and divide by the total credits. UCC’s own grading page states the CGPA "is not the same as the average of GPAs for the various semesters".
What class is a CGPA of 2.86 at UCC?
2nd Class (Lower Division). UCC publishes its bands as: 1st Class 3.6–4.0, 2nd Upper 3.0–3.5, 2nd Lower 2.5–2.9, 3rd Class 2.0–2.4, Pass 1.0–1.9. Note the middle bands differ from UG’s — at UCC, 2.40 is a 3rd Class, where UG would call it Second Lower.
What does a mark below 50 earn at UCC?
Zero points. UCC’s table has a single fail grade, E, covering everything below 50 at 0 points — unlike UG, where 45–49 earns 0.5. The two universities’ tables look alike and are not; this calculator uses UCC’s own.
Does an incomplete (IC) course count?
Not yet. An IC course is left out until it is rectified. UCC notes an unrectified IC converts to the corresponding grade — enter the outcome once you have it, and the course joins the pool then.
