    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.

    Death has this much to be said for it:
    You don’t have to get out of bed for it.
