How the Taylor's University GPA formula works

Taylor's 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 cut off (always rounded down) to 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 3.67.

What gets left out of the average

P, WD, IN, IP, and AU carry no point value at Taylor's University, so a course marked with one of them drops out of the division entirely — it changes neither the top nor the bottom of the fraction. P still earns credit toward your degree while staying out of the GPA, which is why your credit total can climb in a semester where your GPA barely moves. D+, D, D-, F, and FW work the other way: they earn no credit but are still counted in the average at 1.67, 1.33, 1.0, and 0.0 points respectively, so a failed course pulls the average down while adding nothing to your progress.

How this semester rolls into your CGPA

GPA is calculated by dividing total grade points by total credits for the semester. CGPA reflects academic performance across semesters and is calculated from cumulative credit-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 cut off (always rounded down) to 2 decimal places. The most recent attempt replaces the earlier one, so only the newest grade counts toward the cumulative average.

How Taylor's University compares with other Malaysia universities

Taylor's University shares the 4.00 GPA scale with Universiti Malaya, while Universiti Kuala Lumpur grade on a different scale. Rounding is not uniform either: Taylor's University has its cumulative average cut off (always rounded down) to 2 decimal places, whereas Universiti Kuala Lumpur and Universiti Malaya do it differently. Repeated courses are handled differently again at Universiti Kuala Lumpur and Universiti Malaya.

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 Malaysia 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 Taylor's 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 × B+ (3.33 points)
Lab or seminar3 credits × B- (2.67 points)

Semester GPA 3.33 · Updated CGPA 2.93

The semester total is 30 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.

Adding a course graded P

The same student adds a fourth 3-credit course graded P (Pass).

Core course3 credits × A (4.0 points)
Elective3 credits × B+ (3.33 points)
Lab or seminar3 credits × B- (2.67 points)
Pass course3 credits × P (no grade points)

Semester GPA 3.33 · Updated CGPA 2.93

The semester GPA is unchanged at 3.33. P carries no grade points at Taylor's University, so the course is removed from both sides of the division — even though the credit still counts toward the degree. Students often expect a fourth course to move the average and are surprised when it does not.

What one D+ costs

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

Core course3 credits × A (4.0 points)
Elective3 credits × B+ (3.33 points)
Failed course3 credits × D+ (1.67 points)

Semester GPA 3.00 · Updated CGPA 2.89

The semester GPA slips from 3.33 to 3.00, and the cumulative average slips from 2.93 to 2.89. D+ is worth 1.67 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 Taylor's University scale and rounding.

If every course is	Semester GPA	New CGPA	Movement
A (4.0)	4.00	3.06	+0.18 (better)
B+ (3.33)	3.33	2.95	+0.07 (better)

Common mistakes when calculating your Taylor's University GPA

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

Assuming your GPA rounds up
Taylor's University cuts the cumulative average off at 2 decimal places rather than rounding to the nearest. A calculated 3.4989 is recorded as 3.49, not 3.50 — which matters when a scholarship or honours threshold sits on the boundary.
Counting P courses in the average
These earn credit at Taylor's University but carry no grade points, so they belong in your credit total and nowhere near the GPA division. Including them is one of the most common reasons a hand-calculated GPA comes out wrong.
Dropping a failed course from the calculation
D+, D, D-, F, and FW earn no credit toward the degree, but they are still counted in the GPA at 1.67, 1.33, 1.0, and 0.0 points. Leaving a failure out flatters the result.
Guessing the plus/minus values
At Taylor's University, A is worth 4.0 and A- is worth 3.67. Those steps differ between universities, so a value copied from another school's chart will quietly skew the whole average.
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.
Expecting a 0-credit course to move the number
Taylor's University allows them, but with no credit hours they contribute nothing to either side of the division.
Handling a retake by guesswork
The most recent attempt replaces the earlier one, so only the newest grade counts toward the cumulative average. Check the current catalog before assuming an old grade has left your record.

Taylor's University GPA — frequently asked questions

What is a passing grade at Taylor's University?

C (2.0 points) is the weakest grade in the Taylor's University table that still earns credit. Anything below it — D+, D, D-, F, and FW — 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 Taylor's 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 Taylor's University round GPA up?

The cumulative average is cut off (always rounded down) to 2 decimal places, and the semester average is cut off (always rounded down) to 2 decimal places. Because the cumulative figure is truncated rather than rounded, a result just short of a threshold stays short of it — 3.4999 is recorded as 3.49.

Is this a generic Malaysia GPA formula?

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

Do pass/fail courses affect my GPA?

No. P earns credit at Taylor's University without carrying grade points, so it is excluded from the GPA division entirely. Your completed-credit total goes up while the average stays where it was.

Which grades are excluded from the Taylor's University GPA?

P (Pass), WD (Withdrawn), IN (Incomplete), IP (In Progress), and AU (Audit) carry no grade points and are left out of the average. Of those, P still earn credit toward the degree.

What happens to my GPA if I repeat a course?

The most recent attempt replaces the earlier one, so only the newest grade counts toward the cumulative average.

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.

What percentage is a A at Taylor's University?

A covers 80–100% and is worth 4.0 grade points. The full percentage-to-grade table for all 11 graded bands is published on this page.

Is this calculator official?

No. GPAWorld is an independent tool and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Taylor's University. The grading data on this page was taken from Taylor's University Exam and Results - Grading Standard and GPA/CGPA Calculation and last verified on 2026-07-20; every source is linked on this page so you can check it yourself.

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.

Taylor's University has its own official grading systems and is not treated as a generic Malaysia formula.
This config follows the official Diploma, Advanced Diploma and Degree grading standard; ADP, MBBS, postgraduate, weighted GPA, and weighted CGPA rules are different and require their own manual review before use.
D+, D, D-, F, and F(W) are counted in GPA/CGPA but encoded as not earning credit because the official table places D+, D, and D- under Marginal Fail and states F(W) is counted as an attempt and included in GPA/CGPA.
WD, IN, IP, P, and AU are excluded from GPA/CGPA according to the official descriptions. IN and IP are interim notations and should be recalculated after a regular grade is assigned.
Repeated-module handling is encoded as latest-attempt replacement because the official page states previous repeated-module grades are not calculated in CGPA.
