About the Heidelberg CGPA Calculator
This page is for Heidelberg students who need a quick semester GPA or running cumulative CGPA without logging into anything. Grading follows German University Grading (1.0–5.0); we reference the published 1.0–5.0 scale so you are not guessing grade points from memory. Wrong scale?

Heidelberg grading system
Heidelberg University publishes grades under German University Grading (1.0–5.0). The top mark on this scale is Sehr gut (1.x) (4.00 points). A failed course usually counts as 0.00 and will drag your cumulative average down until you pass it.
Percentage conversion
German transcripts use 1.0 (best) to 5.0 (fail). That scale does not map cleanly to a 4.0 GPA without an official conversion table.
