Transcript and Grades
Transcripts
One of the best parts of joining Summer Sessions is receiving an official UC Berkeley transcript!
Transcripts are available to all students who partake in Summer Sessions. When ordering transcripts, you must determine your preferred delivery and mailing options. International students shipping overseas may incur additional costs.
Note: Please wait until all grades are posted in CalCentral before ordering transcripts to avoid receiving a transcript with missing information.
UC Berkeley students order transcripts through CalCentral.
All Summer Sessions visiting students order transcripts from Parchment via UC Berkeley's Office of the Registrar.
Review complete information about transcripts in our Help Center.
Units
Most courses are assigned a unit value that you can use to assess the predicted workload of that course. Courses with higher unit values will require more hours of work than those with lower unit values. If you need to convert semester units to quarter units, please see our Unit Conversion Chart.
We strongly recommend a maximum of 10 units per session during the summer. Students are encouraged to consult their college or major advisers before enrolling in more than 10 units per session.
Review complete information about workload in our Help Center.
Grades
Each letter grade you get for completing a course is equivalent to a certain number of grade points. Use the chart below for converting letter grades to grade points.
Grade Point Conversion Chart
| Grades | Points |
|---|---|
| A+, A | 4.0 |
| A- | 3.7 |
| B+ | 3.3 |
| B | 3.0 |
| B- | 2.7 |
| C+ | 2.3 |
| C | 2.0 |
| C- | 1.7 |
| D+ | 1.3 |
| D | 1.0 |
| D- | 0.7 |
| F, NP, U | 0 |
All grades except I (Incomplete) and IP (In Progress) are considered final. Only courses with a passing grade will count toward degree requirements, unless otherwise specified. The grades of P, S, NP, U, I, and IP carry no grade points, and the units in such courses are not included in grade point average (GPA) computations.
Grade I (Incomplete)
If your work in a course has been of passing quality but is incomplete for reasons beyond your control, you can arrange to receive a grade of “Incomplete” from your instructor, so that you may finish the work during the fall term. All incomplete arrangements must be made with your instructor before the course ends.
You are required to complete the work by the first day of instruction of the following spring semester or the I grade will lapse to either an F or NP and become a part of the GPA computation. Consult the Berkeley Academic Guide for instructions on removing the I grade.
The I grade is not physically replaced or removed from the academic record. Completion of the work is reflected as a subsequent line entry on the record, and the units and grade points earned will be included in subsequent GPA computations.
Grade IP (In Progress)
IP grade can only be assigned to UC Berkeley students because its removal is contingent on enrollment in the course in the next term.
Please refer to the Berkeley Academic Guide for more information.
Grading Options
You can change the grading option on most letter-graded courses. See our Help Center to learn more about changing grading options.
Academic Probation
If you are on probation in the previous spring term, you will remain on probation in subsequent fall term even if you clear your deficit in Summer Sessions. Summer Sessions' grades will be included with fall grades in the January grade-point averages.
Grading Options
When enrolling in a course, students must select a grading option, between Letter Grade, Pass/No Pass, and Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory. Read more about Grading Options on our Enrollment Policies page.
