How the formula works

Northwestern University in Qatar computes GPA from grade points weighted by units of credit; repeated courses remain counted in cumulative GPA while credit is awarded only once. For semester GPA, each GPA-counted course is converted to quality points by multiplying grade points by credits. The semester GPA is the total quality points divided by total GPA-counted credits, then rounded with standard rounding to 2 decimal places. The updated CGPA combines the student's existing quality points with this semester's quality points, then rounds with standard rounding to 2 decimal places.

Pass/fail and non-GPA grades are handled from the Northwestern University in Qatar config: supported pass grades are excluded from GPA points. Repeat-course handling uses this rule: Repeated courses remain on the permanent record and are used to calculate the cumulative GPA; credit is awarded only once.

Worked example

Suppose a student starts with 3.00 CGPA after 30 completed credits and takes these Northwestern University in Qatar courses:

  • Course 13 credits x A (4.00 points)
  • Course 23 credits x B (3.00 points)
  • Course 33 credits x C (2.00 points)

The semester GPA is 3.00 and the updated CGPA is 3.00 using this university's rounding rules.
