How NYU Tandon Calculates GPA

NYU Tandon School of Engineering (NYU Tandon) uses a 4.0 grade point scale and uses plus/minus modifiers (A-, B+, B-, and so on). The school caps A+ at the same 4.0 value as an A, which matters when converting letter grades from a transcript that records A and A+ separately. Each course's grade points multiply by its credit hours, those quality points sum across all courses, and the total divides by total credits attempted.

NYU Tandon GPA Formula

GPA = Sum(Grade Points x Credit Hours) / Sum(Credit Hours)

Where:

Grade Points = letter-grade value on the 4.0 scale
Credit Hours = credit value of the course on the NYU Tandon transcript
A+ = 4.0 (same as A on the standard scale)

Example: A 4-credit class with an A (4.0 points) and a 3-credit class with a B+ (3.3 points): quality points = 4 × 4.0 + 3 × 3.3 = 25.9, total credits = 7, GPA = 25.9 / 7 = 3.70.

NYU Tandon Grading Policy Notes

NYU Tandon (the Brooklyn engineering campus) operates as part of the broader NYU but maintains its own honors policies. Engineering grading runs more rigorous than CAS; the Tandon Dean's List threshold reflects this with a 3.5 cutoff.

Always confirm the final transcript version with the registrar before relying on a projected GPA.

Grade Forgiveness at NYU Tandon

Yes. NYU Tandon allows course repetition with grade replacement; the more recent grade replaces the original in the GPA, though both attempts remain on the transcript.

Major GPA Requirements at NYU Tandon

Most engineering majors require 2.0 minimum. Tandon CS admission requires 3.0+ in technical prerequisites. Pre-medical engineering tracks aim for 3.5-plus.
