GPA = total grade points ÷ total credits. Grade points for a course = credits × the points for your grade. CGPA is the same sum across every semester you have completed.
Use this calculator to work out your semester and cumulative GPA the way NYU counts grades. The grading scale is already set to NYU’s values, so add your courses with their credit hours and letter grades and the results update as you type. Prefer another scale? You can still switch it in the menu, or use the general GPA and CGPA calculator.
NYU GPA calculation rules
NYU grades use a 4.0 maximum with plus and minus steps: A is 4.0, A- 3.7, B+ 3.3, B 3.0, B- 2.7, C+ 2.3, C 2.0, C- 1.7, D+ 1.3, D 1.0 and F 0.0.
Semester GPA equals total grade points divided by total graded credits. Pass/fail courses do not carry grade points, so enter only courses with a letter grade. A cumulative GPA of 2.0 is the usual benchmark for good standing and graduation, but each NYU school publishes its own academic standing rules.
NYU grade conversion table
| Letter grade | Typical percentage range | Grade points |
|---|---|---|
| A | 93–96 | 4.00 |
| A- | 90–92 | 3.70 |
| B+ | 87–89 | 3.30 |
| B | 83–86 | 3.00 |
| B- | 80–82 | 2.70 |
| C+ | 77–79 | 2.30 |
| C | 73–76 | 2.00 |
| C- | 70–72 | 1.70 |
| D+ | 67–69 | 1.30 |
| D | 63–66 | 1.00 |
| F | Below 60 | 0.00 |
Grade points follow the official scale. Percentage ranges are the common US convention and not an official conversion, because instructors set their own cutoffs in the syllabus.
NYU Dean’s List, honors and academic standing
NYU is strict about Dean’s List, and the rule differs by school. At NYU Stern, a student must keep a GPA of 3.667 or higher, earn at least 28 graded credits over an academic year (January term and summer do not count), and take at least 12 credits in each fall or spring semester at Stern.
Other NYU schools set their own thresholds, so check your school’s bulletin. Put your school’s number into the target GPA box in the calculator to see what you need.
