Grading policy is governed by the Berkeley Academic Senate and each school or college. Grades are posted to the official transcript the day after instructor approval. Students can view their grades in CalCentral.

If you cannot resolve your dispute informally, there is a formal procedure you can follow that is outlined in the Berkeley Academic Guide under "Academic Policies." The method of replacement of the I grade by a final grade will be determined by the Dean of the Graduate Division and the Graduate Council.
UC Berkeley Grade Definitions. Plus and minus grading: Only the grades of A, B, C and D may be modified by a plus (+) or minus (-) suffix. The grade of A+, when awarded, represents extraordinary achievement but does not receive grade point credit beyond that received for the grade of A.

The Grade Distribution Report is used to show how grades are distributed for the entire school, by course, by teacher, or for an individual student.
“If you step on the UC Berkeley seal, you'll never graduate with a 4.0 GPA.” The truth of the matter is that you won't get a 4.0 GPA regardless of whether you step on the seal. Grade deflation and the unrealistic expectations of professors and GSIs ensure that a 4.0 GPA is virtually impossible.

While professors control where each plus or minus cut off begins, a typical grading scale, the one I will use throughout this article, follows this pattern: A = 100-93, A- = 92.9-90, B+ = 89.9-87, B = 86.9-83 and so on.
With a GPA of 3.89, UC Berkeley requires you to be near the top of your class, and well above average. You'll need mostly A's, ideally with several AP or IB classes to help show your preparation at a college level. If you're a junior or senior, your GPA is hard to change from this point on.
The University of California, Berkeley, uses a plus and minus letter grade system on a four-point scale. Any letter grade under C- is not considered passing. Students must retake any course required for the degree if they do not earn a passing grade.
In a 'normal' distribution, most of the data will be near the middle or the 'mean', with very few figures toward the outside of the bell. Grading on a curve implies that there are a fixed number of A's, B's, C's, D's and F's.
Grade Distribution. The number of students in the course section receiving each of the possible grades that can be awarded.
Essentially, the highest GPA you can earn is a 4.0, which indicates an A average in all of your classes. A 3.0 would indicate a B average, a 2.0 a C average, a 1.0 a D, and a 0.0 an F. This scale does not take the levels of your courses into account.
