Mac uses a 12 point scale, so according to that scale a 3.2 would be very low (a D+). However, if that is based on a four point scale, it would be much higher.

Once marks are posted up on MUGSI (after you finish all your exams and the profs input your marks) you'll be able to see your grade for each class and it automatically calculates your GPA for you ... so you don't have to read this chart
