DIRECT ANSWER
How does NSU calculate CGPA?
North South University divides the total grade points earned by the credits attempted. A course contributes its grade point multiplied by its credits. A and F count in the calculation; I and W do not. For a retaken course, NSU uses only the best grade in the CGPA.
CGPA = total grade points earned ÷ credits attemptedBUILT AROUND REAL NSU QUESTIONS
More useful than a blank grade table.
A basic course total is only part of semester planning. This calculator also handles the two decisions students commonly make before registration: whether a retake helps and what a target requires.
Handle a retake correctly
Choose the previous and expected grade so the old points are replaced and credits are not added twice.

NSU GRADING SYSTEM
North South University grade points
These values follow NSU's published grading policy. An instructor may set exact cut-offs with the flexibility described by the university, so the grade posted on your transcript remains final.
| Numerical score | Letter grade | Grade point |
|---|---|---|
| 93+ | A | 4.0 |
| 90–92 | A- | 3.7 |
| 87–89 | B+ | 3.3 |
| 83–86 | B | 3.0 |
| 80–82 | B- | 2.7 |
| 77–79 | C+ | 2.3 |
| 73–76 | C | 2.0 |
| 70–72 | C- | 1.7 |
| 67–69 | D+ | 1.3 |
| 60–66 | D | 1.0 |
| Below 60 | F | 0.0 |
RETAKE, I AND W
Know which credits belong in the calculation.
An F remains in CGPA until the course is retaken or appropriately replaced and a better grade is earned. For a retake, only the best grade is used. I and W do not enter GPA and their credits do not apply toward graduation. Use the grade and credit shown in RDS or on the official transcript when the two differ from a plan.
FOUR STEPS
Use the calculator without double-counting credits
- 01
Add the starting result
Use the completed credits and CGPA already shown in your student record.
- 02
List the planned courses
Enter every course credit and expected letter grade; mark only genuine retakes.
- 03
Read both outcomes
Use semester GPA for the term and projected CGPA for the cumulative result.
- 04
Verify after publication
Compare the estimate with the official transcript because only NSU can issue the final result.
CHECK FIRST
Before you rely on the number
Use attempted credits, not a guessed total. The official GPA formula is based on credits attempted for the courses included in the degree.
Describe retakes accurately. The previous grade must already be part of your current CGPA for the replacement adjustment to be meaningful.
Treat a target as planning, not a promise. Expected grades can change and university decisions take precedence over this estimate.

COMMON QUESTIONS
NSU CGPA calculator: common questions
Short answers about NSU grades, retakes, semester GPA and cumulative results.
What is the NSU CGPA formula?
Add the grade points earned for included courses and divide by the credits attempted. For each course, grade points earned equal the course credit multiplied by the letter-grade point.
Does an F count in NSU CGPA?
Yes. An F has a grade point of 0.0 and is used in CGPA until the course is retaken or appropriately replaced and a better grade is earned.
How does an NSU retake affect CGPA?
NSU records the actual grades, but only the best grade for a retaken course is used to calculate CGPA. The calculator replaces the previous points and does not add the same course credits again.
Do I and W grades affect NSU GPA?
No. NSU states that I and W are not accepted in the GPA calculation. A W does not affect GPA.
Can I calculate only my semester GPA?
Yes. Leave completed credits and current CGPA at zero, then enter the courses for that semester.
Is this an official NSU result?
No. It is a planning calculator. Your NSU student record and official transcript remain final.
