UAM GPA Calculator: MB, B, S Grade System

Estimate a UAM average. The Universidad Autonoma Metropolitana uses a qualitative MB / B / S / NA system, so enter the numeric equivalent on the 0 to 10 scale for a reference promedio.

How to Calculate Your UAM Promedio

The Universidad Autonoma Metropolitana (UAM) uses a qualitative grading system rather than a numeric promedio: MB (Muy Bien), B (Bien), and S (Suficiente) are passing, while NA (No Acreditada) means the course was not accredited. Because the letters are qualitative, UAM does not compute a single numeric promedio the way 0 to 10 universities do. Use the calculator above only if your division provides a numeric equivalent for each grade.

The calculator above is set to the 0 to 10 scale (qualitative MB/B/S) for Universidad Autonoma Metropolitana. Enter each materia with its credit value and calificacion; the promedio is the credit-weighted average. The tool also shows a US 4.0 equivalent for graduate-school, exchange, or transfer applications abroad. For the full two-mode tool covering every Mexican system, see the Mexican GPA calculator hub.

Universidad Autonoma Metropolitana Grading and Standing

UAM requires at least S (Suficiente) to accredit a course; NA means the course must be retaken. The trimester system at UAM means a heavier course rhythm than semester universities. Because UAM does not issue a numeric promedio, graduate and exchange applications usually rely on the count of MB/B/S grades and any divisional conversion. Confirm how your division reports averages with UAM Sistemas Escolares.

What makes UAM distinctive: UAM is the main Mexican university that grades qualitatively (MB, B, S, NA) instead of on the 0 to 10 numeric scale, and it runs on trimesters rather than semesters, so there is no standard numeric promedio to compute.

Converting Your UAM Promedio to a US 4.0 GPA

Mexican students applying to US graduate schools or exchange programs usually report a 4.0-scale GPA. The calculator above shows the 4.0 equivalent alongside your promedio. For the conversion in detail, use the GPA converter and the GPA scale reference. Other Mexican universities and their scales are listed on the Mexico GPA calculator and the GPA by country directory.

Does UAM use a numeric promedio?
No. UAM grades qualitatively with MB (Muy Bien), B (Bien), and S (Suficiente) as passing marks and NA (No Acreditada) for a course that was not accredited. There is no standard numeric promedio at UAM. The calculator above can produce a reference figure only if your division supplies a numeric equivalent for each qualitative grade.
What do MB, B, S, and NA mean at UAM?
At UAM, MB is Muy Bien (very good), B is Bien (good), and S is Suficiente (sufficient), all of which accredit the course. NA is No Acreditada, meaning the course was not passed and must be retaken. The system is qualitative, so the distance between MB and S is not expressed as a fixed number of points.
How do I report a UAM record for a US application?
Because UAM uses qualitative grades, US programs and credential evaluators typically map MB/B/S to an approximate 4.0-scale band (MB near the top, S near a pass) rather than averaging a number. Provide your full UAM kardex and let the evaluator apply its conversion; confirm with UAM Sistemas Escolares how it certifies records for study abroad.
