Course credits
Credits are the multiplier. A small grade change in a high-credit course can move GPA more than a big change in a low-credit course.

How the American University in Cairo GPA Calculator Works
AUC uses a letter-grade scale from A through F with plus/minus values. This calculator follows A = 4.0, A- = 3.7, B+ = 3.3, down to D = 1.0 and F = 0.
GPA = total grade points earned / total GPA creditsExample: an A in a 3-credit course adds 12.00 quality points. A C+ in another 3-credit course adds 6.90 quality points.
For AUC planning, the main trap is mixing transcript GPA with informal percent averages. Use the official letter grade expected for each course, then add the correct credit hours. Non-GPA marks should be left out unless AUC counts them in the GPA category you are checking.

What to double-check before trusting the number
Excluded marks
Do not enter pass/fail, withdrawal, audit, or incomplete records unless your official policy says they count in GPA.
Repeated courses
If a repeated course replaces or averages a previous attempt, your transcript can differ from a simple course-by-course estimate.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does AUC calculate GPA?
AUC GPA is calculated with a credit-weighted formula: grade points multiplied by course credits, divided by total GPA credits. This page uses the grade-point values shown in the scale table above.
Is this AUC GPA calculator official?
No. It is an independent planning calculator built from published grading information. Use it to estimate and plan, but rely on your official transcript, registrar, or student portal for the GPA that counts.
What should I leave out?
Leave out courses that do not carry GPA points for the GPA you are estimating, such as audit, pass/fail, transfer-only, withdrawal, or incomplete records unless your school explicitly includes them.
Why can my transcript GPA differ from this result?
Transcript GPAs can differ because of repeated-course rules, rounding, course exclusions, academic standing policies, transfer treatment, or faculty-specific rules. The calculator shows the clean credit-weighted math so you can spot the likely reason.
Can I use this for a semester GPA and cumulative GPA?
Yes. Enter one semester for a term GPA, or enter all GPA-bearing courses for an overall estimate. If you already know past semester GPAs, the cumulative or overall GPA calculator may be faster.
What makes this page more useful than a generic GPA calculator?
The grade dropdown uses the specific scale for The American University in Cairo, the explanation calls out common transcript traps, and the result includes a smart-move hint showing which entered course would move your GPA fastest.
