UW-Madison Undergraduate Grading Information

This section explains the UW-Madison grading system and how an undergraduate GPA is calculated.

How are grades reported for L&S undergraduate students?

Semester/term grades are reported by letters only for all students. UW-Madison does not use a plus and minus system to report final semester/term grades.  For more detailed information, see Student Grading and GPA.
