LUMS GPA Formula and Grading Scale
LUMS calculates GPA with the standard quality-points formula:
GPA = Total Quality Points / Total Credit Hours
Quality points for each course = Grade Point x Credit Hours. LUMS follows a 4.0 grading scale: A+ / A = 4.00, A- = 3.70, B+ = 3.30, B = 3.00, B- = 2.70, C+ = 2.30, C = 2.00, C- = 1.70, D = 1.00, and F = 0.00. For example, a 4-credit course with an A- earns 3.70 x 4 = 14.80 quality points. Add the quality points of all courses and divide by the total credit hours to get your GPA. If your school or program uses a modified scale, verify it with the LUMS Office of the Registrar.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is GPA calculated at LUMS?
Each course’s grade point is multiplied by its credit hours to get quality points, and total quality points are divided by total credit hours. For example, a 4-credit A (4.00) and a 3-credit B+ (3.30) give (16 + 9.90) / 7 = 3.70 GPA.
What is the difference between GPA and CGPA?
GPA reflects a single semester, while CGPA is the cumulative average across all semesters. To combine your semester GPAs, use our GPA to CGPA Calculator.
