How this works

Convert European ECTS grades (A-F) and credit points into a US 4.0 GPA approximation.

Formula

GPA = sum(Credits x Point) / sum(Credits) with A=4.0, B=3.5, C=3.0, D=2.5, E=2.0.

Example

20 credits at A + 24 at B + 18 at C = (80 + 84 + 54) / 62 = 3.52.

Notes

  • ECTS grades are distribution-based (A = top 10%) not fixed percentages.
  • This conversion is an approximation used by many admissions offices.

Grading policies differ by university, department, and academic year. Use your institution's official calculator or transcript office for anything that counts (transfer credit, scholarships, honors).
