Arizona State University CGPA Calculator
Tempe, Arizona · public · est. 1885
CGPA at Arizona State University is total quality points divided by total credit hours, counted across every semester you have completed, a quality point being one credit hour multiplied by that course's grade point. ASU awards those grade points through the official ASU grading scale shown below, a 10-band table that runs from 4.33 (A+, 97% and above) down to 0.00 for a fail, giving a maximum CGPA of 4.33. The lowest passing grade is D, awarded from 60%.

Arizona State University grading scale
ASU grades on an absolute scale out of 4.33 with 10 bands. A mark of 97% or above earns A+ (4.33), and 60% is the lowest passing band (D). The calculator above already applies these bands, so you can enter raw marks instead of letters.
| Marks (%) | Grade | Grade point |
|---|---|---|
| 97–100 | A+ | 4.33 |
| 93–96 | A | 4.00 |
| 90–92 | A- | 3.67 |
| 87–89 | B+ | 3.33 |
| 83–86 | B | 3.00 |
| 80–82 | B- | 2.67 |
| 77–79 | C+ | 2.33 |
| 70–76 | C | 2.00 |
| 60–69 | D | 1.00 |
| 0–59 | E | 0.00 |

- https://registrar.asu.edu/grades · retrieved 2026-09-02ASU University Registrar Services' official 'Grades and grading policies' page, fetched directly. Confirms the full grade-point table: A+=4.33, A=4.00, A-=3.67, B+=3.33, B=3.00, B-=2.67, C+=2.33, C=2.00, D=1.00, E=0.00 (ASU has no C-, D+, or D- at all). Genuinely unusual and explicitly stated on the page: 'Although the plus/minus scale includes a grade of A+ with a value of 4.33, the cumulative GPA is capped at 4.00', so A+ is recorded on the transcript and can raise a single course's contribution, but ASU caps the reported cumulative GPA figure itself at 4.00 rather than ever displaying above it. maxGpa is set to 4.33 here (the highest single-course value the scale allows) so this calculator's per-course math matches ASU's own table exactly; ASU's own separate 4.00 cumulative-GPA cap is called out explicitly in this page's copy rather than silently forced by clipping the scale itself.
How grading works at ASU
ASU's registrar publishes one of the more distinctive grade-point tables of any major US university: A+ is genuinely worth 4.33 per course, above the usual 4.0 ceiling, yet ASU explicitly caps the cumulative GPA figure it reports at 4.00 even when a student's course-by-course math would otherwise clear it. The rest of the scale uses the familiar credit-weighted formula, grade point times units, summed and divided by units attempted, but with a narrower bottom half: ASU has no C-, D+, or D- at all, jumping straight from C at 2.00 to a single D grade at 1.00 and then E (failure) at zero.
Founded in 1885, more than two decades before Arizona achieved statehood, ASU is one of the largest public universities in the United States by enrollment. Its GPA policy computes both a semester net-hours GPA and a cumulative net-hours GPA, each rounded to the nearest hundredth of a point, and treats grades like W (withdrawal), X, Y, and P as excluded from GPA entirely rather than averaged in as a zero or partial value.
ASU does not publish one official percentage-to-letter-grade conversion applied identically to every course; as at most large public universities, the exact rubric an instructor uses is set at the course level. The percentage bands here follow the common convention layered on top of ASU's own confirmed, registrar-sourced grade-point table, so the letter-grade and point-value columns are the reliably ASU-specific part of this calculator.
Worked example: a full semester on the ASU scale
Here is a complete 15 credit-hour semester scored against the ASU grade points in the table above. The marks are illustrative, but every number after them is calculated the same way the calculator on this page calculates yours.
| Course | Credit hrs | Marks /100 | Grade | Grade point | Quality points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Core course I | 3 | 99 | A+ | 4.33 | 3 × 4.33 = 12.99 |
| Core course II | 4 | 91 | A- | 3.67 | 4 × 3.67 = 14.68 |
| Core course III | 3 | 88 | B+ | 3.33 | 3 × 3.33 = 9.99 |
| Elective | 3 | 81 | B- | 2.67 | 3 × 2.67 = 8.01 |
| Lab / practical | 2 | 78 | C+ | 2.33 | 2 × 2.33 = 4.66 |
| Total | 15 | 50.33 |
Step by step
- Convert each course mark to a grade point. Work out each course as a percentage of its total marks, then read the letter off the ASU grading table. 99 out of 100 is 99%, which falls in the A+ band and is worth 4.33 grade points.
- Multiply each grade point by the course credit hours. Credit hours decide how much each course counts, so multiply to get quality points: 3 × 4.33 = 12.99, 4 × 3.67 = 14.68, 3 × 3.33 = 9.99, 3 × 2.67 = 8.01, 2 × 2.33 = 4.66.
- Add the quality points and the credit hours. Adding the five courses gives 50.33 quality points across 15 credit hours.
- Divide to get the semester GPA. 50.33 ÷ 15 = 3.35, the semester GPA for this term at ASU.
- Fold the semester into your CGPA. If you had already completed 45 credit hours at a CGPA of 3.46, those carry 155.70 quality points. Add this semester and the CGPA becomes (155.70 + 50.33) ÷ (45 + 15) = 3.43.
The division actually gives 3.3553; result cards print two decimals, so it appears as 3.35. Notice how the 4-credit course moves the average roughly twice as hard as the 2-credit lab. That credit-hour weighting is the whole reason a GPA is not just the average of your grade points.
Which ASU programmes use this scale?
The same grading plan applies across ASU’s degree programmes, including W. P. Carey School of Business, Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering, Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Barrett, The Honors College. Credit-hour loads differ by programme (a typical semester runs 15 to 18 credit hours), but the marks-to-grade-point mapping above does not change between them.
