Grades use UP's 1.00–5.00 scale (1.00 is best, 5.00 is fail). Your grades never leave your browser.
UP grading system (1.00–5.00)
| Grade | Percentage (typical) | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1.00 | 97–100% | Excellent |
| 1.25 – 1.75 | 88–96% | Very Good |
| 2.00 – 2.25 | 82–87% | Good |
| 2.50 – 2.75 | 76–81% | Satisfactory |
| 3.00 | 75% | Passing |
| 4.00 | — | Conditional |
| 5.00 | Below 75% | Failed |
UP's scale is the common Philippine college scale — the same table as the Grade Equivalents page. A 4.00 (conditional) means you may need to complete a requirement to pass the subject; a 5.00 means you failed it. For the full explanation of the scale, see the College Grading System guide.
UP Latin honors cutoffs
| Honor | GWA (UP standard) |
|---|---|
| Summa Cum Laude | 1.20 or better |
| Magna Cum Laude | 1.45 or better |
| Cum Laude | 1.75 or better |
These are UP's published cutoffs (Revised UP Code, Art. 410) — the numbers most Philippine universities quote as the standard. UP also requires no failing grade and the residency rules in the UP Code; other universities set their own conditions. Check where your GWA sits with the Latin Honors Calculator.
Worked example
Four subjects, one semester: 1.25 (3 units), 1.50 (3 units), 2.00 (3 units), 1.75 (3 units). Multiply each grade by its units: 3.75 + 4.50 + 6.00 + 5.25 = 19.50. Divide by total units (12): 19.50 ÷ 12 = 1.63 — Cum Laude range. The full step-by-step method is on the How to Compute GWA page, and your whole-course number is the Cumulative GWA.
