Law School GPA Calculator (LSAC)

LSAC's Credential Assembly Service (CAS) recalculates your GPA using a standardized 4.0 scale applied uniformly across all undergraduate institutions you attended. Because schools use different grading scales and policies, your CAS GPA can be higher or lower than the GPA on your transcript. LSAC includes grades that your school may have excluded, such as repeated courses and failed classes.

CAS collects transcripts from every undergraduate institution you attended, converts all grades to its 4.0 scale using official conversion tables, and then divides total quality points by total attempted credit hours. Only undergraduate coursework counts — graduate and professional school grades are reported separately and not included in the CAS GPA.

Yes. Unlike many college policies that replace the original grade, LSAC includes both the original and repeated course attempts when calculating your CAS GPA. This means academic renewal or grade forgiveness policies at your institution will not apply to your LSAC GPA.

Generally, no. Advanced Placement (AP) and College Level Examination Program (CLEP) credits are typically not included in the CAS GPA calculation, because they do not carry letter grades from a college course. However, if your transcript reflects a letter grade for such credit, LSAC may include it.

Pass/fail courses where no grade point equivalent is assigned, audit grades, withdrawal notations, and purely graduate-level coursework are generally excluded from the CAS GPA. LSAC's official transcript summarization guidelines list the full set of excluded grade types.

Failing grades are included in your CAS GPA calculation and converted to 0.0 on the 4.0 scale. Even if your school's transcript omits a failed course due to withdrawal or forgiveness policies, LSAC will still count it as long as the grade appears on an official transcript it receives.

Yes. LSAC combines credits and quality points from all undergraduate institutions into one cumulative CAS GPA. If you transferred or attended multiple schools, all records are merged into a single calculation — so strong performance at one school can offset weaker grades at another.

This calculator closely mirrors the LSAC methodology when you enter credits and quality points already converted to the 4.0 scale. For the most precise result, use LSAC's official conversion tables to convert your grades before entering them here. Your official CAS GPA may differ slightly depending on how LSAC handles edge cases on your specific transcripts.
