Egypt GPA Calculator: Percentage, AUC 4.0 and ECTS

How the Egypt GPA Calculator Works (Cumulative GPA, College GPA, Egypt GPA Scale)

The Egypt GPA calculator above runs three modes because Egyptian universities use three distinct grading conventions. Percentage mode (the default) handles the Egyptian percentage scale used at most public universities (Cairo, Ain Shams, Alexandria, Helwan). AUC 4.0 mode handles the plus/minus letter scale used at the American University in Cairo and most credit-hour private universities (MIU, MUST, MSA, BUE, AAST, FUE, AOU). GUC ECTS mode handles the German University in Cairo\'s inverse 0.7 to 5.0 scale and flips it internally so the result reads on the familiar 0 to 4.0 axis.

In every mode the math is the same credit-hour weighted average: each course\'s grade points multiplied by its credit hours produces quality points; quality points summed across courses divided by total credit hours produces the cumulative GPA. The result panel shows the CGPA on the 4.0 scale, the Egyptian percentage equivalent, the Arabic word grade (Momtaz, Jayyid Jiddan, Jayyid, Maqbul, Daeef), and the US 4.0 GPA equivalent for graduate school applicants. This works as your college GPA calculator for Egyptian universities, a حساب gpa workflow for Arabic-speaking students, and a حاسبة gpa reference tool. What does GPA stand for? Grade Point Average, the standard cumulative academic metric used worldwide.

Whether you searched for ال gpa, GPA من 4, gpa من 4, موقع حساب ال gpa, or كيف احسب ال gpa, this calculator handles the Egyptian use case. The 3.5 GPA, 3.0 GPA, and 2.5 GPA thresholds correspond to Jayyid Jiddan, Jayyid (upper), and Jayyid (lower) on the Egyptian percentage band map; a B plus GPA on the AUC scale converts directly to 3.3 on the 4.0 scale. For students at AAST, the aast gpa calculator pattern uses the AUC mode above; the aast portal gpa calculator routine follows the same credit-weighted formula documented in the AUC section. The aou gpa calculator (Arab Open University Egypt) also uses the AUC 4.0 letter scale via the AUC mode.

Egyptian University Grading Scale, GPA Grade Bands, and Arabic Word Grades

Egyptian universities use a five-band percentage scale with Arabic word grades that appear on official transcripts. The canonical scale is published by the Supreme Council of Universities and used at Cairo University, Ain Shams University, Alexandria University, and Helwan University:

• Momtaz (ممتاز, Excellent): 85 to 100 percent. Equivalent to a US 4.0 A.
• Jayyid Jiddan (جيد جدا, Very Good): 75 to 84 percent. Equivalent to roughly a US 3.5 (B plus to A minus).
• Jayyid (جيد, Good): 65 to 74 percent. Equivalent to roughly a US 2.5 (B minus to C plus).
• Maqbul (مقبول, Pass or Acceptable): 50 to 64 percent. The minimum passing band at virtually all Egyptian universities. Equivalent to a US 2.0 (C).
• Daeef (ضعيف, Weak): below 50 percent. Failing; no credit issued.

Public University Grading: The Traditional Percentage System

At public Egyptian universities (Cairo, Ain Shams, Alexandria, Helwan), your final degree classification appears on the graduation certificate as a single word grade derived from the cumulative percentage across your four to six year programme. The Faculty of Engineering at Cairo University typically issues degrees as Distinction with Honours (Momtaz with Class Honours, 85 percent and above), Very Good (75 to 84), Good (65 to 74), and Pass (50 to 64). The percentage cutoffs are uniform across faculties at most public universities; only the per-course internal grading curve differs by faculty.

Private and Credit-Hour University Grading: The 4.0 GPA Scale

Egyptian private and credit-hour universities (AUC, GUC, BUE, AAST, MIU, MSA, MUST, FUE, AOU) report a per-course letter grade and a cumulative GPA on the 4.0 scale instead of a final degree classification. The AUC plus/minus letter scale is the most widely used variant in Egypt; GUC uses an ECTS inverse scale unique among Egyptian institutions. Both produce a CGPA that can be converted to the Egyptian percentage equivalent or directly to a US 4.0 GPA for graduate school applications.

How to Calculate GPA Out of 4 in Egyptian Credit-Hour Universities

Every credit-hour Egyptian university uses the same weighted-average GPA formula. Only the letter-to-points mapping differs across institutions.

Two implementation details specific to Egyptian credit-hour universities matter for accuracy. First, credit-hour weighting means a four-credit major course influences your CGPA roughly four times as much as a one-credit elective. Second, grade-replacement policy varies across institutions. AUC and GUC let the higher attempt replace the earlier one for CGPA purposes; AAST and MIU generally average the two attempts. Check your registrar handbook before entering retaken courses; the calculator above lets you omit the lower attempt if your university uses the replacement rule.

AUC, GUC, BUE and Other Egyptian University GPA Scales

AUC Plus/Minus 4.0 Letter Grade Scale

The American University in Cairo uses the most granular Egyptian 4.0 scale: A = 4.0, A minus = 3.7, B plus = 3.3, B = 3.0, B minus = 2.7, C plus = 2.3, C = 2.0, C minus = 1.7, D plus = 1.3, D = 1.0, F = 0.0. AUC requires a cumulative GPA of 2.0 to remain in Good Academic Standing and 2.5 to graduate from most majors; the Dean\'s List threshold is 3.6 each semester. Source: AUC Academic Advising Center.

GUC ECTS Inverse Scale (Where Lower Is Better)

The German University in Cairo is the only major Egyptian university using the European Credit Transfer System on an inverted axis. On the GUC ECTS scale, 0.7 is the best grade (equivalent to an A plus at AUC) and 5.0 is failing. A GUC CGPA of 2.5 is respectable; a 1.5 is exceptional. The GUC ECTS mode in the calculator above flips this internally so you can compare a GUC result directly against an AUC 4.0 result. The flip formula is GPA on 4.0 = 4.0 times ((5.0 minus ECTS) divided by (5.0 minus 0.7)).

AAST, MIU, MSA, MUST: Standard 4.0 Variants

Arab Academy for Science Technology and Maritime Transport (AAST), Misr International University (MIU), MSA University, MUST, BUE, and FUE all follow a 4.0 scale similar to AUC\'s but with minor letter-cutoff differences. Most cap A at 90 percent rather than AUC\'s 93. AAST publishes a separate cumulative GPA, major GPA, and semester GPA on its student portal; the same calculator math applies to each report.

Convert Egyptian Percentage to US 4.0 GPA for Graduate School

Egyptian university graduates applying to US graduate programmes need their CGPA expressed on the US 4.0 scale. The percentage-to-4.0 mapping below is the conversion most US graduate programmes and credential evaluators apply for Egyptian transcripts.

For formal US graduate school applications, World Education Services (WES) generates an authoritative course-by-course US GPA from Egyptian transcripts (cost roughly USD 200 to 250 in 2026). Educational Credential Evaluators (ECE) and Scholaro are common alternatives. Most US graduate programmes accept a WES-style evaluation; some accept the unconverted Egyptian percentage with a self-conversion note. The calculator above is for planning purposes; for binding applications a WES report is the authoritative source.

Thanaweya Amma and IGCSE Pre-University Grading in Egypt

Egyptian high school graduates enter university through two main routes. The Thanaweya Amma (الثانوية العامة, General Secondary Certificate) is the national exam that determines public university placement under the Tansik admissions system. Thanaweya Amma scores are reported as a percentage out of the total marks (typically 410 or similar); 95 percent or above qualifies for Medicine and Engineering at top public universities, 85 percent or above for Pharmacy or Computer Science, 75 percent or above for Commerce and most liberal arts faculties.

IGCSE and American Diploma graduates use the same Tansik conversion table but route through international school faculty quotas at most public universities. AUC and the credit-hour private universities admit on standardised tests (SAT or ACT) plus IGCSE or American Diploma grades directly. An IGCSE A star converts to a 4.0 on the US scale, A to 3.7, B to 3.0, C to 2.0; a typical Egyptian university expects a minimum aggregate of five to seven IGCSE passes at C or better. The IGCSE score calculator route is most useful when applying for an Egyptian credit-hour university or generating an equivalent first-year GPA estimate.

What Counts as a Good GPA at Egyptian Universities

On the Egyptian credit-hour 4.0 scale, academic standing thresholds follow a consistent pattern across most universities:

• Dean\'s List or President\'s List: 3.5 and above at AUC, GUC, AAST, MIU. Some institutions (BUE, MSA) set the threshold at 3.6.
• Honours classifications: AUC and AAST issue Magna Cum Laude (3.7 and above) and Cum Laude (3.5 and above) for graduating seniors. Public universities issue the Arabic word-grade equivalents (Momtaz with Class Honours for cumulative percentage above 85).
• Good Academic Standing: 2.0 and above at virtually every Egyptian credit-hour university. Below 2.0 typically triggers academic probation with one or two semesters to recover.
• Graduation minimum: 2.0 to 2.5 depending on the university and the major. Engineering and Medicine programmes at AUC require 2.5; Business and Liberal Arts require 2.0.

For graduate school applications, a 3.0 on the Egyptian 4.0 scale is competitive for most international programmes; 3.5 and above for top-tier US, UK, and Canadian universities. Scholarship eligibility (Erasmus Plus, DAAD, Fulbright, Chevening) typically requires 3.3 to 3.5 from an Egyptian university.
