ZU grading system

US Standard 4.0 GPA Scale is what ZU prints on most transcripts. The top band is A (4.00 points). A fail (F) usually counts as zero quality points until you pass the retake.

The math behind semester GPA and cumulative CGPA is the same across most universities — see our CGPA formula guide for a worked example. For broader planning tips, read the complete CGPA guide on the homepage.

Percentage conversion

Branch campuses may show US 4.0 GPA locally while home-country marks sit in the appendix. Use the scale printed on your UAE transcript.

How do I convert ZU CGPA to percentage?
Branch campuses may show US 4.0 GPA locally while home-country marks sit in the appendix. Use the scale printed on your UAE transcript.
How do I combine semester GPAs into CGPA?
Weight each semester by its credit load: (SGPA₁ × credits₁ + SGPA₂ × credits₂ + …) ÷ total credits. CGPA mode on the calculator adds semester rows so you do not have to re-enter every subject.
