How the Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence GPA formula works

Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence 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 3.7.

What gets left out of the average

I, TC, W, EX, CS, and S carry no point value at Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence, 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. TC, EX, CS, and S 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. F, U, and WF work the other way: they earn no credit but are 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

CGPA is the sum of quality points earned in all terms and semesters divided by attempted credit hours in all those terms and semesters. 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 Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence compares with other United Arab Emirates universities

Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence shares the 4.00 GPA scale with Abu Dhabi University, American University of Sharjah, Canadian University Dubai and 5 others, while American University in Dubai, United Arab Emirates University, and Zayed University grade on a different scale. Rounding is not uniform either: Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence has its cumulative average rounded to the nearest 2 decimal places, whereas American University of Sharjah, Canadian University Dubai and 1 other do it differently. Repeated courses are handled differently again at Canadian University Dubai, Emirates Aviation University and 2 others.

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 United Arab Emirates 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 Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence'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.

Adding a course graded TC

The same student adds a fourth 3-credit course graded TC (Transfer).

  • Core course3 credits × A+ (4.0 points)
  • Elective3 credits × A- (3.5 points)
  • Lab or seminar3 credits × B (3.0 points)
  • Transfer course3 credits × TC (no grade points)

Semester GPA 3.50 · Updated CGPA 2.96

The semester GPA is unchanged at 3.50. TC carries no grade points at Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence, 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 F costs

The same semester again, but the last course comes back as F (Failing grade in coursework) 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 Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence scale and rounding.

Common mistakes when calculating your Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence GPA

These are the places where the Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence rules differ from what most students assume, and where a hand calculation usually goes wrong.

  1. Counting TC, EX, CS, and S courses in the average

    These earn credit at Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence 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

    F, U, and WF earn no credit toward the degree, but they are still counted in the GPA at 0.0 points. Leaving a failure out flatters the result.

  3. Guessing the plus/minus values

    At Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence, A+ is worth 4.0 and A is worth 3.7. Those steps differ between universities, so a value copied from another school's chart will quietly skew the whole average.

  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

    Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence allows them, but with no credit hours they contribute nothing to either side of the division.

  6. 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.

Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence GPA — frequently asked questions

What is a passing grade at Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence?

C- (1.7 points) is the weakest grade in the Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence table that still earns credit. Anything below it — F, U, and WF — 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 Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence?

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 Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence 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 United Arab Emirates GPA formula?

No. This page is generated from the grading configuration for Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence alone — its 12 point values, its standard rounding, and its own rules for pass/fail and repeated courses. Other universities in United Arab Emirates 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. TC, EX, CS, and S earn credit at Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence 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 Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence GPA?

I (Incomplete), TC (Transfer), W (Withdrawn), EX (Course Exemption), CS (Course Substitution), and S (Satisfactory in Internship, Thesis, or Research Methods) carry no grade points and are left out of the average. Of those, TC, EX, CS, and S still earn credit toward the degree.

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.

What percentage is a A+ at Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence?

A+ covers 97–100% and is worth 4.0 grade points. The full percentage-to-grade table for all 10 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 Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence. The grading data on this page was taken from MBZUAI Student Handbook 2024-2025 and last verified on 2026-07-19; every source is linked on this page so you can check it yourself.
