GPA Calculator for Taiwan
Calculate your GPA using Taiwan's 4.3 grading scale. Credit-weighted GPA calculator for National Taiwan University (NTU), National Cheng Kung University (NCKU), National Tsing Hua University (NTHU) and other Taiwanese universities. Supports letter grades A+ to F with accurate grade point mapping.
GPA / Letter Grading (with underlying percentage)
4.3 GPA (Letter grades A+ to F)
Credits (學分 - Xuéfēn)
Yes. Results weighted by credit hours per course.
60% (C-) for Undergraduates | 70% (B-) for Graduates
No resit exams; students must retake entire course.
Usually to two decimal places (e.g., 3.85)
Taiwanese higher education operates on a semester basis (18 weeks per semester). While older transcripts may only show percentages, modern transcripts from major universities show Letter Grades and Grade Points.
Evaluation is typically a split of:
- Midterm Exam: 30%
- Final Exam: 40%
- Continuous Assessment: 30% (quizzes, attendance, participation)
Course Title, Credits, Letter Grade, and Grade Points. The bottom of the transcript usually includes the Semester GPA and Cumulative GPA (CGPA).
- Credits (學分): One credit usually equals one hour of lecture per week for a full semester.
- Grade Point (積分): The numerical value assigned to a letter grade (e.g., A = 4.0).
- Ranking (排名): Many universities provide a "Percentile Ranking" (e.g., Top 10%) on the transcript.
- Individual Course Grade: Grades are first calculated as a percentage (0-100) and then converted to a letter grade based on the university's specific mapping.
- Determine Grade Points: Convert the letter grade of each course into its numerical equivalent (e.g., A = 4.0, A+ = 4.3).
- Calculate Quality Points: Multiply the Grade Point by the number of Credits for that course.
- Sum Totals: Add all Quality Points and all Credits.
- Divide: GPA = Total Quality Points ÷ Total Credits Attempted
- Graduate Pass Mark: A grade of C+ or lower (below 70) is often a fail for Master's/PhD students, whereas 60 is passing for Undergraduates.
- Failed Courses (F): Credits for failed courses are included in the GPA denominator, significantly lowering the average.
- Withdrawal (W): Does not affect the GPA but appears on the transcript.
