The Math

How NJIT GPA Is Calculated

NJIT multiplies each grade point by credit hours to get quality points, then divides total quality points by total GPA hours.

NJIT GPA Formula
\[ \text{GPA} = \frac{\displaystyle\sum \text{Quality Points}}{\displaystyle\sum \text{GPA Hours}} = \frac{\displaystyle\sum (\text{Grade Point} \times \text{Credit Hours})}{\displaystyle\sum \text{Credit Hours}} \]
Quality PointsGrade point value × credit hours for each course
GPA HoursTotal graded credit hours (excludes P, W, I, N, NR)

📝 Worked Example

A sample semester using three courses:

CourseCredit HoursGradeGrade PointQuality Points
CS 1003.0A4.03 × 4.0 = 12.0
MATH 1114.0B+3.54 × 3.5 = 14.0
PHYS 1113.0C2.03 × 2.0 = 6.0
Total10.032.0

Plugging into the formula:

\[ \text{GPA} = \frac{32.0}{10.0} = \mathbf{3.20} \]

The Conversion Formula

NJIT uses a 4.0 scale, so:

\[ \text{Percentage} = \text{GPA} \times 25 \quad \text{or equivalently} \quad \text{Percentage} = \left(\frac{\text{GPA}}{4.0}\right) \times 100 \]

Example: If your GPA is 3.5, then Percentage = 3.5 × 25 = 87.50%.

NJIT GPA — Frequently Asked Questions

What GPA scale does NJIT use?

NJIT uses a 4.0 grade-point scale: A = 4.0, B+ = 3.5, B = 3.0, C+ = 2.5, C = 2.0, D = 1.0, and F = 0.0. Plus grades carry half a point, and there are no minus grades or A+.

How is GPA calculated at NJIT?

For each course, Quality Points = Grade Points × Credit Hours. Your GPA is then Total Quality Points ÷ Total GPA Hours.

Does NJIT use minus grades like B− or A−?

No. The official NJIT grade-point table only lists A, B+, B, C+, C, D, and F. There are no minus grades and no A+ on the NJIT scale.

How do I convert my NJIT GPA to a percentage?

Use Percentage = GPA × 25 (equivalent to (GPA ÷ 4.0) × 100). For example, a GPA of 3.5 converts to 87.5%.

Which grades are left out of my NJIT GPA?

Marks of I, P, N, NR, and W carry no grade points and are excluded from both quality points and GPA hours, so they don't affect your GPA.
