How the The Hashemite University GPA formula works

The Hashemite University converts every graded course into quality points by multiplying the grade's point value by the course's credit hours. Your semester GPA is the total quality points divided by the total credit hours that count toward the GPA, and the result is rounded to the nearest 2 decimal places. Points run from 0.0 up to 4.0, so a higher average is a better result. The scale uses plus and minus grades, so there are 12 distinct point values rather than a handful of whole steps: A+ is worth 4.0 and A is worth 3.75.

What gets left out of the average

F works the other way: it earns no credit but is still counted in the average at 0.0 points, so a failed course pulls the average down while adding nothing to your progress.

How this semester rolls into your CGPA

The Hashemite University uses a letter-grade system with grade points out of 4.0; GPA is calculated from credit-hour weighted grade points. In practice that means your existing CGPA is turned back into quality points by multiplying it by your completed credits, this semester's quality points are added on, and the total is divided by your new credit total. Both the semester and the cumulative figures are rounded to the nearest 2 decimal places. Repeat handling is not published as a rule this calculator can apply automatically, so retaken courses need to be checked against the current catalog.

How The Hashemite University compares with other Jordan universities

The Hashemite University shares the 4.00 GPA scale with Al-Ahliyya Amman University, Middle East University, and University of Petra, while Jordan University of Science and Technology grade on a different scale.

A GPA only means something alongside the scale it was calculated on, which is why comparing raw numbers between institutions — even neighbouring ones — is unreliable. See the Jordan comparison table for every university covered there side by side.

Worked examples

Each example below is run through the same engine the calculator uses, so the numbers show The Hashemite University's own rounding.

A typical graded semester

A student sitting at 2.88 after 60 completed credits takes 3 courses worth 3 credits each.

  • Core course3 credits × A+ (4.0 points)
  • Elective3 credits × A- (3.5 points)
  • Lab or seminar3 credits × B (3.0 points)

Semester GPA 3.50 · Updated CGPA 2.96

The semester total is 31.5 quality points over 9 counted credits. Because the cumulative average now spans 69 credits, one semester moves it only a little — this is why a CGPA gets harder to shift the further into a degree you are.

What one F costs

The same semester again, but the last course comes back as F (Fail) instead.

  • Core course3 credits × A+ (4.0 points)
  • Elective3 credits × A- (3.5 points)
  • Failed course3 credits × F (0.0 points)

Semester GPA 2.50 · Updated CGPA 2.83

The semester GPA slips from 3.50 to 2.50, and the cumulative average slips from 2.96 to 2.83. F is worth 0.0 points and earns no credit, so it weighs the average down while adding nothing to your degree progress.

What this semester does to your CGPA

A student with a 2.88 CGPA after 60 credits takes 4 courses worth 3 credits each (12 credits in total). Here is where that CGPA lands if every course comes back at the same grade — calculated with the The Hashemite University scale and rounding.

Common mistakes when calculating your The Hashemite University GPA

These are the places where the The Hashemite University rules differ from what most students assume, and where a hand calculation usually goes wrong.

  1. Dropping a failed course from the calculation

    F earns no credit toward the degree, but it is still counted in the GPA at 0.0 points. Leaving a failure out flatters the result.

  2. Guessing the plus/minus values

    At The Hashemite University, A+ is worth 4.0 and A is worth 3.75. Those steps differ between universities, so a value copied from another school's chart will quietly skew the whole average.

  3. Averaging the grades instead of weighting them

    A course worth twice the credits moves your GPA twice as much. Adding up your grade points and dividing by the number of courses ignores that weighting and is almost always wrong.

  4. Expecting a 0-credit course to move the number

    The Hashemite University allows them, but with no credit hours they contribute nothing to either side of the division.

  5. Handling a retake by guesswork

    Repeat handling is not published as a rule this calculator can apply automatically, so retaken courses need to be checked against the current catalog. Check the current catalog before assuming an old grade has left your record.

The Hashemite University GPA — frequently asked questions

What is a passing grade at The Hashemite University?

D (1.5 points) is the weakest grade in the The Hashemite University table that still earns credit. Anything below it — F — is counted in your GPA but earns no credit toward the degree. Individual programmes can set a higher minimum for courses in your major, so check your programme handbook as well.

What is the best GPA you can get at The Hashemite University?

4.0 on the 4.00 GPA scale, which you reach by earning A+ (4.0 points) in every course that counts toward the GPA.

Does The Hashemite University round GPA up?

The cumulative average is rounded to the nearest 2 decimal places, and the semester average is rounded to the nearest 2 decimal places. That is ordinary rounding, so a result sitting exactly half a step along goes up.

Is this a generic Jordan GPA formula?

No. This page is generated from the grading configuration for The Hashemite University alone — its 12 point values, its standard rounding, and its own rules for pass/fail and repeated courses. Other universities in Jordan routinely use different point values or a different scale entirely, so the same grades can produce a different GPA elsewhere.

What happens to my GPA if I repeat a course?

Repeat handling is not published as a rule this calculator can apply automatically, so retaken courses need to be checked against the current catalog.

How much does one semester change my cumulative GPA?

Your CGPA is weighted by every credit you have already completed, so a single semester moves it less the further along you are. Fifteen credits added to sixty already completed is a fifth of your record; the same fifteen added to a hundred and twenty is an eighth of it. Use the calculator at the top of this page with your real completed-credit total rather than estimating the movement.

Is this calculator official?

No. GPAWorld is an independent tool and is not affiliated with or endorsed by The Hashemite University. The grading data on this page was taken from The Hashemite University Electrical Engineering Department Handbook 2017 and last verified on 2026-07-20; every source is linked on this page so you can check it yourself. Your registrar's record is always the authority.

Notes on this university's data

Judgement calls and caveats recorded when this grading configuration was built from the official sources. They are published so you can see exactly what the calculator assumes.

  • The Hashemite University has its own official grading system and is not treated as a generic Jordan formula.
  • The source states that the letter-grade system is adopted in the university and identifies the table as the grading system used in The Hashemite University.
  • The source does not state a GPA rounding mode; this config uses standard two-decimal display until a more specific official rule is found.
  • Repeated-course handling is marked manual review because the official repeat calculation rule was not clear in the sources found.
