GPAWorld country hub
GPAWorld covers 4 universities in Lebanon. Between them they use 2 different grading scales, the most common being the 4.00 GPA scale at 3 of them. They all round the cumulative average the same way. That is why this site keeps one grading configuration per university instead of one per country — a single "Lebanon GPA formula" would be wrong for most students who used it.

This is the clearest argument against using one national formula. Take a student who earns their university's second-best grade in four courses— identical academic performance, on paper — and run it through each institution's own rules:
American University of Beirut
Second-best grade: A (4 points)
4.00
Semester GPA
Lebanese American University
Second-best grade: A- (3.67 points)
3.67
Semester GPA
Same effort, same relative result, different number — because the scales, point values and rounding rules are set by each university rather than by Lebanon. A calculator that ignores this gives most students the wrong figure.
Looking at the Lebanon configurations side by side: 3 publish the percentage range behind each letter, which lets you work backwards from a mark to a grade; repeated courses are handled 2 different ways across the group. Each university's own page spells out which of these apply to you.
| University | Scale | Top grade | Lowest pass | CGPA rounding | Repeats |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| American University of Beirut | 4.00 capped GPA with 4.30 A+ quality points | A+ (4.3) | D (1.0) | Rounded to 2 dp | Manual review |
| Lebanese American University | 4.00 GPA scale | A (4.0) | D (1.0) | Rounded to 2 dp | Manual review |
| Notre Dame University-Louaize | 4.00 GPA scale | A+ (4.0) | D (1.0) | Rounded to 2 dp | Best replaces |

No. The 4 Lebanon universities covered here use 2 different grading scales between them, so the same grades can produce very different GPAs. Pick your university from the list on this page.
Open your university's page from the list above. Enter your current CGPA and completed credit hours, then add this semester's courses with their credit hours and grades. The grade options come from that university's own table, and the result is rounded using its own rule — so the number matches how your registrar calculates it.
Because the point values differ. Four courses at the second-best grade give 4.00 at American University of Beirut (A = 4.0 points) but 3.67 at Lebanese American University (A- = 3.67 points). Identical performance, different numbers.
Quite possibly — coverage is being expanded steadily, and each university is only added once its grading policy has been read from an official source and encoded. Send us the university name and a link to its published grading scale and we will add it.
If you want to check the arithmetic by hand rather than trust a calculator, these walkthroughs cover the method that sits underneath every university page on this site.
