    So I have to repeat one subject and because of this SIS isnt showing my term GPA for my 3rd year.

    Anyway, I have my GPA from second year, and the majority of my results from 3rd year, I will use a B as my incomplete subject.

    So for all intents and purposes I have all my results, how do I calculate my GPA given its a 30/70 split?

    Thanks.

    GPA (2nd yr) x .30

    GPa (3rd yr) x .70

    Add the two together

    lol, I feel stupid now. I figured that much though.

    How I do get my GPA for 3rd year though? I have 2 ten credit modules, the rest are 5 credit modules.

    Easiest way is just add all modules together like you had 12 modules - however, for the 10 credit ones, add the grade/GPA twice

    Cheers Jev/N but I think I must be phrasing my question wrong.

    Add all my invidual grade points together and then...? I will end up with some number like 40+? Whereas my 2nd Sem GPA is 3.23 or something?

    Have a look at the following doc: http://www.ucd.ie/registry/assessment/student_info/modulargradesexplained.pdf

    Basically, each result you get has a Grade Point value attached to it, so just take the Average of those:

    Grade|GP Value
    A+ |4.2
    A |4.0
    A- |3.8
    B+ |3.6
    B |3.4
    B- |3.2
    C+ |3.0
    C |2.8
    C- |2.6
    D+ |2.4
    D |2.2
    D- |2.0
    E |1.6
    F |1.0
    G |0.4
    NG |0.0
    I just tried it on my marks from last semester, and it matches what SIS reports.

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.
