Ateneo QPI Calculator
Compute your Ateneo Quality Point Index (QPI) from your letter grades — A = 4.0, B+ = 3.5, B = 3.0, C+ = 2.5, C = 2.0, D = 1.0, F = 0. Free, no sign-up, nothing uploaded.
Calculate your Ateneo QPI
Letter grades · A = 4.0 … F = 0
Pick the letter grade from your grade slip. Your grades never leave your browser.
Ateneo QPI scale (letter grades)
| Letter | Quality points | Percentage (syllabus) |
|---|---|---|
| A | 4.0 | 93–100% |
| B+ | 3.5 | 87–92.99% |
| B | 3.0 | 81–86.99% |
| C+ | 2.5 | 75–80.99% |
| C | 2.0 | 69–74.99% |
| D | 1.0 | 60–69.99% |
| F | 0 | Below 60% |
The letter-to-point mapping (A = 4.0 down to F = 0) is the Ateneo College Student Handbook's grading table, and the percentage bands above come from an official Ateneo course syllabus — D is the lowest passing grade (1.0), and F means failed. The same table applies across Ateneo's undergraduate programs; if a course syllabus shows different percentage bands for that subject, the syllabus governs that subject. For how the 4.00 scale differs from the 1.00–5.00 scale most Philippine colleges use, see the College Grading System guide.
How QPI is computed
Every subject counts according to its units. A 3-unit subject affects your QPI three times as much as a 1-unit subject — that is why it is called a weighted average, and why it is the same calculation as a GWA, only on a different scale. The How to Compute GWA page walks through the same weighted-average method step by step; the only difference here is that you enter letters, and the calculator converts each letter to its quality points first.
Ateneo Latin honors (as reported)
| Honor | QPI (as reported in Ateneo guides) |
|---|---|
| Summa Cum Laude | 3.87 – 4.00 |
| Magna Cum Laude | 3.70 – 3.86 |
| Cum Laude | 3.50 – 3.69 |
| Honorable Mention | 3.35 – 3.49 |
These cutoffs are reported in Ateneo guides — they have not been verified on ateneo.edu, so treat them as reported, not official, and check your student handbook for the exact rule. Ateneo's semestral First Honors (Dean's List) is reported at a QPI of 3.70 or better for the semester. Latin honors are judged on your whole-course QPI at graduation, not one semester; use the Cumulative GWA Calculator for that number (it accepts 1.00–5.00 GWAs — convert your QPI semesters to the same scale first, or track your QPI semester by semester in a spreadsheet).
Worked example
Four subjects, one semester. Convert each letter to its quality points, multiply by units, add the results, then divide by total units.
| Subject | Letter | Points | Units | Points × Units |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Math 101 | A | 4.0 | 3 | 12.00 |
| English 101 | A | 4.0 | 3 | 12.00 |
| Science 101 | B+ | 3.5 | 2 | 7.00 |
| History 101 | B | 3.0 | 3 | 9.00 |
| Total | 11 | 40.00 |
Step by step: Math 101: 4.0 × 3 = 12.00; English 101: 4.0 × 3 = 12.00; Science 101: 3.5 × 2 = 7.00; History 101: 3.0 × 3 = 9.00. Add the results: 12.00 + 12.00 + 7.00 + 9.00 = 40.00. Add the units: 3 + 3 + 2 + 3 = 11. Divide: 40.00 ÷ 11 = 3.64.
QPI = 3.64. That is Cum Laude range on the reported cutoffs (3.50–3.69). Try the same letters in the calculator above — pick A, A, B+ and B with the same units, and you will get 3.64. If a job or scholarship form asks for a GPA instead of a QPI, your QPI already is a 4.00-scale number — give the QPI and name it, rather than converting it; see the GWA to GPA converter for how the 1.00–5.00 GWA maps onto the 4.00 scale.
QPI vs GWA — don't mix the scales
A 2.00 GWA from a 1.00–5.00 school is a good grade; a 2.00 QPI is a C average, below the usual honors range. The number only means something with its scale attached, so always write "QPI 3.64 (Ateneo, 4.00 scale)" rather than just "3.64". Students who transfer between Ateneo and a 1.00–5.00 school should be careful: the new school usually recomputes your average from your Transcript of Records using its own table, and a QPI does not convert to a GWA by any single official formula. The University GWA Calculators page computes on either scale — pick your school's scale first.
