Q

How do I calculate my NYU GPA?

Multiply each course's NYU grade points by its credit hours to get quality points, add them up, and divide by total credits. The calculator above applies NYU's exact grade values automatically.

  • Step 1: grade points x credits = quality points for each course
  • Step 2: add all quality points
  • Step 3: add all credit hours
  • Step 4: quality points / total credits = GPA
  • Example: A(4.0)x3 + B(3.0)x3 = 21.00 / 6 = 3.50
Q

What GPA do you need for the Dean's List at NYU?

NYU's Dean's List requires about a 3.65 GPA with at least 28 graded credits. CAS Dean's Honors List: a 3.65+ GPA over the full academic year (Sept-May) on at least 28 graded credits, with no Incomplete or N grades. This is annual (not per-semester) and varies by NYU school; this reflects the College of Arts & Science.

  • Dean's List GPA: 3.65
  • Minimum graded credits: 28
  • At NYU the exact cutoff varies by college
  • Usually requires no failing or incomplete grades that term
Q

What GPA puts you on academic probation at NYU?

At New York University, a cumulative GPA below 2.0 drops you out of good academic standing and onto academic probation. You normally have a term to bring it back above 2.0.

  • Good standing: cumulative GPA at or above 2.0
  • Probation: cumulative GPA below 2.0
  • Continued low GPA can lead to suspension or dismissal
  • Use the thresholds bar above to see where you stand at NYU
Q

Why does NYU calculate GPA to three decimals?

New York University records grade points to three decimal places (A- = 3.667, B+ = 3.333), so a NYU GPA can differ slightly from the rounded 3.67/3.33 values other schools use.

  • A- = 3.667
  • B+ = 3.333
  • B- = 2.667
  • C+ = 2.333
  • C- = 1.667
  • D+ = 1.333

Understanding the New York University GPA Scale

New York University carries grade points to three decimals (A- = 3.667). NYU carries GPA to three decimals, so plus/minus values are 3.667, 3.333, 2.667, etc. No A+ (A is the 4.000 max) and no D-. The failing grade is F. Policy is university-wide; individual schools may not offer every grade. Because the grade values differ from a generic 4.0 calculator, your NYU GPA should be computed on the school's own scale — which is exactly what the calculator above does.

Credit hours matter as much as grades: a 4.0 in a 4-credit course adds 16.0 quality points, while the same grade in a 1-credit course adds only 4.0. Higher-credit courses move your NYU GPA more.

Two thresholds shape your standing at NYU: stay at or above 2.0 to remain in good academic standing, and reach about 3.65 to make the Dean's List. The thresholds bar above shows where your current GPA falls between them.
