The official grade-to-point mapping, how it is applied, and where it comes from.
Legacy/reference GPA model. Peking University’s May 2025 undergraduate rules state that grades may be recorded as percentage or letter grades and that, for the 2025-entry cohort, GPA is no longer used in academic-evaluation contexts. Use this calculator only for historical/legacy GPA records or a programme that explicitly uses GPA.
| Grade | Points | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A+ | 4.00 | 优秀 Excellent |
| A | 4.00 | 优秀 Excellent |
| A- | 3.70 | — |
| B+ | 3.30 | 良好 Good |
| B | 3.00 | — |
| B- | 2.70 | — |
| C+ | 2.30 | 中等 Average |
| C | 2.00 | — |
| C- | 1.70 | — |
| D | 1.00 | 及格 Pass |
| F | 0.00 | 不及格 Fail |
| Code | How it is treated |
|---|---|
| W | Withdrawn. Excluded from the average. |
| P | Pass in a pass/fail course. Carries no grade points and is excluded. |
| Native grading scale | 100-point percentage (百分制) |
| Pass mark | 60 out of 100 |
| GPA layer | 4.0 scale, provided for international applications |
| Top band | A+ at 95–100, A at 90–94, both worth 4.0 |
| Alternative formula | GPA = 4 − 3(100−X)² / 1600 — non-linear, gives different results from the band table |
| 2025 reform | PKU is phasing out GPA for undergraduates in favour of letter grades without a numerical average |
| Credit term | 学分 (xuéfēn) — credits, weighted the same way as elsewhere |
| GPA term | 绩点 (jī diǎn) — grade point |
| Typical CSC scholarship threshold | Around 3.2 / 4.0 or equivalent |
| Typical admission threshold for international applicants | 3.0 – 3.5 / 4.0 for graduate programmes |
| CGPA → percentage status | No universal official conversion published/verified |
Not universally for current students. Peking University’s May 2025 undergraduate rules state that, from the 2025-entry cohort, GPA is no longer used in academic-evaluation contexts. The transcript records percentage or letter grades according to the applicable course and programme rules. One practical note. If you are close to a threshold that decides funding or progression, get the number confirmed in writing before the deadline rather than after, because corrections after the fact are much harder to obtain.
Yes, but only as a legacy/reference calculator for older records or a programme that explicitly uses GPA. It should not be treated as a universal current 2025+ PKU grading model.
The 2025 rules state that 60 or above on the percentage scale, D or above on the letter-grade scale, or P on a pass/fail course is passing. The exact recording method depends on the course and programme.
