How the Middle East Technical University GPA formula works

Middle East Technical 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 has no plus/minus steps, so every grade in a band is worth exactly the same number of points.

What gets left out of the average

S, U, EX, I, W, and NI carry no point value at Middle East Technical 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. S and EX still earn 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. FD, FF, and NA work the other way: they earn no credit but are still counted in the average at 0.5 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

Course credit points are calculated by multiplying course credit value by the letter-grade coefficient; semester and cumulative GPAs divide total credit points by total relevant credit values. 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. The most recent attempt replaces the earlier one, so only the newest grade counts toward the cumulative average.

How Middle East Technical University compares with other Turkey universities

All 6 Turkey universities covered here — including Bilkent University, Biruni University, Istanbul Bilgi University and 2 others — publish the same 4.00 GPA scale. Repeated courses are handled differently again at Istanbul Bilgi University.

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 Turkey 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 Middle East Technical 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 × AA (4.0 points)
  • Elective3 credits × BB (3.0 points)
  • Lab or seminar3 credits × CC (2.0 points)

Semester GPA 3.00 · Updated CGPA 2.90

The semester total is 27 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 S

The same student adds a fourth 3-credit course graded S (Successful).

  • Core course3 credits × AA (4.0 points)
  • Elective3 credits × BB (3.0 points)
  • Lab or seminar3 credits × CC (2.0 points)
  • Successful course3 credits × S (no grade points)

Semester GPA 3.00 · Updated CGPA 2.90

The semester GPA is unchanged at 3.00. S carries no grade points at Middle East Technical 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 FD costs

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

  • Core course3 credits × AA (4.0 points)
  • Elective3 credits × BB (3.0 points)
  • Failed course3 credits × FD (0.5 points)

Semester GPA 2.50 · Updated CGPA 2.83

The semester GPA slips from 3.00 to 2.50, and the cumulative average slips from 2.90 to 2.83. FD is worth 0.5 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 Middle East Technical University scale and rounding.

Common mistakes when calculating your Middle East Technical University GPA

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

  1. Counting S and EX courses in the average

    These earn credit at Middle East Technical 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.

  2. Dropping a failed course from the calculation

    FD, FF, and NA earn no credit toward the degree, but they are still counted in the GPA at 0.5 and 0.0 points. Leaving a failure out flatters the result.

  3. Borrowing plus/minus values from another university

    The Middle East Technical University table has no plus or minus steps — every grade in a band is worth the same points. Intermediate values like 3.3 or 3.7 do not exist on this scale.

  4. 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.

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

    Middle East Technical University allows them, but with no credit hours they contribute nothing to either side of the division.

  6. 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.

Middle East Technical University GPA — frequently asked questions

What is a passing grade at Middle East Technical University?

DD (1.0 points) is the weakest grade in the Middle East Technical University table that still earns credit. Anything below it — FD, FF, and NA — 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 Middle East Technical University?

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

Does Middle East Technical 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 Turkey GPA formula?

No. This page is generated from the grading configuration for Middle East Technical University alone — its 10 point values, its standard rounding, and its own rules for pass/fail and repeated courses. Other universities in Turkey 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. S and EX earn credit at Middle East Technical University without carrying grade points, so they are 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 Middle East Technical University GPA?

S (Successful), U (Unsuccessful), EX (Exempt), I (Incomplete), W (Withdrawn), and NI (Not Included) carry no grade points and are left out of the average. Of those, S and EX 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 AA at Middle East Technical University?

AA covers 90–100% and is worth 4.0 grade points. The full percentage-to-grade table for all 9 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 Middle East Technical University. The grading data on this page was taken from METU Rules and Regulations Governing Undergraduate Studies and last verified on 2026-07-19; every source is linked on this page so you can check it yourself.
