About This Tool
Everything you need to know about the GPA Calculator for Jala University
About the Project
An unofficial GPA calculator built by a Jala University student. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Jala University. All grades and settings are stored exclusively in your browser.
Purpose
- A what-if scenario tool for Software Engineering students to explore grade possibilities and understand their academic standing without entering course credits manually.
- Bridges Bolivia's 0–100 numeric grading system with Jala University's American-style 0–4.0 GPA scale, using pre-loaded course credits for every cohort.
- Serves as an information hub for academic honors, total credits, course completion, and graduation requirements.
GPA Calculation
Each course's quality points = letter grade value × course credit hours. Higher-credit courses carry proportionally more weight in your GPA.
A minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0 is required to graduate from the Software Engineering program, in addition to completing the ESP English program.
This calculator pre-loads the correct credit values for every course in every cohort, so you never need to enter them manually.
The Grading System
Jala University uses the American letter grade system. Numeric course scores (0–100) are converted to letter grades, which carry quality point values used in the GPA calculation.
Example: a score of 92 in Programming I converts to A− = 3.7 quality points.
A grade of D− or lower is considered failing and requires repeating the course in all programs.
Grade Scale
| Grade | Score Range | Quality Points |
|---|---|---|
| A | 94–100 | 4.0 |
| A− | 90–93 | 3.7 |
| B+ | 86–89 | 3.3 |
| B | 83–85 | 3.0 |
| B− | 80–82 | 2.7 |
| C+ | 76–79 | 2.3 |
| C | 73–75 | 2.0 |
| C− | 70–72 | 1.7 |
| D+ | 66–69 | 1.3 |
| D | 63–65 | 1.0 |
| D− | 60–62 | 0.7 |
| F | < 60 | 0.0 |

Special thanks to Jala University's Student Services & Registrar team for providing accurate information and patiently resolving questions about GPA calculation methodology at the university, and to the beta testers for testing the app and ensuring reliability and correctness for their specific cohorts and suggesting new features and improvements.
Academic Honors
Career (Graduation) Honors
Awarded based on your final cumulative GPA at the time of graduation.
Term Honors
Awarded for individual terms when all courses in that term have been graded.
Cohort-Specific Programs
Each cohort may have different courses or credit values due to program updates at Jala University. This calculator respects the academic program requirements in effect when each cohort enrolled, ensuring accurate and cohort-specific GPA results.
ESP English Program
ESP (English for Specific Purposes) grades are not included in the Software Engineering GPA. The ESP program has its own separate GPA calculation. While completing the ESP program is mandatory for graduation, its grades do not affect your career GPA.
