📝 Worked Example

Suppose a student completes 5 courses with the following percentage grades and credits:

CourseCreditsPercentageGrade / PointCredit Points
Course 1392%A+ / 4.03 × 4.0 = 12.0
Course 2387%A / 3.93 × 3.9 = 11.7
Course 3374%B / 3.03 × 3.0 = 9.0
Course 41.568%C+ / 2.31.5 × 2.3 = 3.45
Course 5381%A− / 3.73 × 3.7 = 11.1

How the Conversion Works

Example: A grade of 88% falls in the A band (85–89.9%), which equals a grade point of 3.9 on the 4.0 scale.
