College Transcripts

<p>Does college transcripts show number grades or letter grades only? </p>

<p>Should be both. They should show number of credits for the class, GPA of the class, and corresponding letter grade from the GPA.</p>

<p>number grades as in percentage? No, not usually, since college courses are often graded on a curve, so an A in one class might be 60%, but another 95%. It usually has what @NHuffer‌ said from above. Your grade in the course is converted to a letter grade based on the professor’s grading scale, then the letter grade is converted to GPA on the university scale. So say you get a 93 in a class. Based on the professor’s scale, this is a B+. Now going to the university scale, perhaps a B+ is a 3.3/4. This would be what is used to calculate your GPA and would be reported along with the letter grade.</p>

<p>My unofficial transcript only has letter grades (meaning, it doesn’t include percent grades), so I’m assuming it’s the same for the real one. </p>

<p>That is correct. Transcripts won’t have percentages. Letter grades and GPA only.</p>
