Jordan GPA Calculator: Percentage, Mumtaz and 4.0 Scale

How the Jordan GPA Calculator Works (Percentage to 4.0, Undergraduate and JUST Graduate)

The Jordan GPA calculator above runs the canonical Jordanian percentage scale on a credit-weighted average. Every Jordanian university (University of Jordan, JUST, Yarmouk, Hashemite, GJU, Mu\'tah, Petra, Al-Balqa Applied, Princess Sumaya, Al Hussein bin Talal) issues each course as a percentage on the 0 to 100 axis, then maps the cumulative weighted percentage to one of six Arabic descriptor bands. Undergraduate mode (default) handles bachelor degree study; Graduate mode applies the stricter JUST master\'s and PhD cutoffs, where 70 percent is the minimum pass mark and 88 percent is the Excellent floor.

The math is the same in both modes: each course\'s grade-point band value (4.0, 3.5, 2.5, 2.0, 1.0, 0.0 at undergraduate; 4.0, 3.5, 3.0, 2.0, 0.0 at graduate) is multiplied by its credit hours to produce quality points; quality points are summed across all courses and divided by total credit hours attempted to produce the cumulative GPA. The result panel shows the CGPA on the 4.0 scale, the credit-weighted percentage average, the Arabic descriptor (Mumtaz, Jayyid Jiddan, Jayyid, Maqbul, Daeef, Rasib), and the US 4.0 GPA equivalent for graduate school applicants. This works as your college GPA calculator for Jordanian universities, a حساب gpa workflow for Arabic-speaking students, and a how-to-calculate-my-uni-gpa reference. What does GPA stand for? Grade Point Average, the standard cumulative academic metric used worldwide.

Whether you searched for ju gpa calculator, just university gpa calculator, gpa calculator hashemite university, gpa calculator yarmouk, university of jordan gpa calculator, gpa calculator out of 4, gpa calculator out of 100, 4 gpa calculator, gpa calculator 100 to 4.0 or gpa calculator out of 4.2, this Jordan-specific hub answers the use case. A 3.5 GPA, 3.0 GPA or 2.5 GPA threshold on the 4.0 scale corresponds to Jayyid Jiddan (Very Good), Jayyid (high) and Jayyid (low) on the Jordanian descriptor scale; the calculator output prints both numbers so you can compare directly against US, UK or German programmes.

Jordanian University Grading Scale (Undergraduate Percentage to 4.0)

Jordanian universities use a five-band undergraduate percentage scale with Arabic descriptor words on official transcripts. The canonical thresholds below are codified in the German Jordanian University academic regulations and mirrored across the University of Jordan, Yarmouk, Hashemite, Mu\'tah, Al-Balqa Applied, Petra and most accredited Jordanian institutions:

• Mumtaz (ممتاز, Excellent): 84 to 100 percent. Equivalent to a US 4.0 (A). Roughly the top 10 to 15 percent of a cohort at engineering and medicine faculties.
• Jayyid Jiddan (جيد جدا, Very Good): 76 to 83.99 percent. Equivalent to a US 3.5 (B plus to A minus). This is the common postgraduate-admission and merit-scholarship threshold.
• Jayyid (جيد, Good): 68 to 75.99 percent. Equivalent to a US 2.5 (B minus to C plus). Many engineering programmes require Jayyid on major-coded courses to remain in major standing.
• Maqbul (مقبول, Satisfactory): 60 to 67.99 percent. Equivalent to a US 2.0 (C). The standard cumulative graduation floor at most Jordanian universities.
• Daeef (ضعيف, Marginal Pass): 50 to 59.99 percent. Equivalent to a US 1.0 (D). The minimum per-course pass at most institutions; cumulative averages in this band typically trigger academic probation.
• Rasib (راسب, Fail): below 50 percent. Equivalent to a US 0.0 (F). No credit issued and the course must be retaken.

JUST Graduate Grading Scale (Master\'s and PhD)

The Jordan University of Science and Technology graduate school applies a stricter percentage scale than the undergraduate scheme. Per the JUST academic regulations, master\'s and PhD students require a minimum of 70 percent (Maqbul / Pass) on any graded course and a cumulative GPA equivalent of 3.0 on the 4.0 scale to remain in the programme. The graduate bands are: Mumtaz (Excellent) 88 to 100 percent, Jayyid Jiddan (Very Good) 80 to 87.99 percent, Jayyid (Good) 75 to 79.99 percent, Maqbul (Pass) 70 to 74.99 percent, Rasib (Fail) below 70 percent. Several other Jordanian graduate schools (UoJ Faculty of Graduate Studies, Yarmouk Deanship of Graduate Studies, Hashemite graduate programmes) apply similar 70 percent floors though the exact band cutoffs vary by faculty. Switch the calculator to Graduate mode if you are a postgraduate student at any of these institutions.

How to Calculate GPA at a Jordanian University (Step by Step)

Every Jordanian university uses the same weighted-average GPA formula. Only the percentage-to-points band map differs between the undergraduate and graduate scales.

Two implementation details specific to Jordanian universities matter for accuracy. First, credit-hour weighting means a four-credit Engineering Mechanics course at JUST influences your CGPA roughly four times as much as a one-credit lab session. Second, grade-replacement policy varies: UoJ and JUST generally average both attempts of a retaken course into the CGPA; GJU and Petra apply the higher attempt to the cumulative. Yarmouk allows up to two course retakes for grade replacement, with the higher percentage counting toward the cumulative GPA. Check your registrar handbook before entering retaken courses; the calculator above lets you omit the lower attempt if your programme uses the replacement rule.

Convert Jordanian Percentage GPA to a US 4.0 GPA for Credential Evaluation

Jordanian university graduates applying to US, Canadian or UK graduate programmes need their cumulative GPA expressed on the US 4.0 scale. The percentage-to-4.0 mapping below is the conversion most US graduate programmes and credential evaluators (WES, ECE, Scholaro) apply for Jordanian transcripts.

For formal US graduate school applications, World Education Services (WES) generates an authoritative course-by-course US GPA from Jordanian transcripts (cost roughly USD 200 to 220 in 2026 for an ICAP course-by-course report). Educational Credential Evaluators (ECE) and Scholaro are common alternatives accepted at most US graduate programmes. The calculator above is for planning purposes; for binding applications a WES, ECE or Scholaro report is the authoritative source. UoJ, JUST and GJU transcripts are routinely accepted at this conversion mapping; some specialised programmes (US medical school via ECFMG, UK NARIC equivalence) may apply slightly different per-faculty conversions.

Scholarship GPA Thresholds for Jordanian Students

Jordanian university graduates compete for several government, royal-family and international scholarship programmes. Each sets its own minimum GPA threshold on the 4.0 scale (or the equivalent Jordanian percentage):

• King Abdullah II Fund for Development scholarships: Very Good (Jayyid Jiddan, 76 percent and above, roughly 3.3 on the 4.0 scale) minimum; competitive applicants in the Excellent (84 plus) band.
• Crown Prince Foundation scholarships: Excellent (84 plus, roughly 3.7 on the 4.0 scale) typical for the merit-track Bidaya programme; Very Good for technical and vocational tracks.
• Higher Council for Science and Technology (HCST) graduate grants: 3.0 cumulative minimum on the 4.0 scale (or 76 percent equivalent) for postgraduate study in Jordan and abroad.
• Fulbright Jordan (administered by AMIDEAST Amman): strong academic record required, typically 3.0 GPA equivalent and above, plus TOEFL iBT 80 or IELTS 6.5.
• Erasmus Plus, DAAD Jordan, Chevening UK: 3.3 GPA equivalent (Jayyid Jiddan, 80 plus) common floor for competitive applicants from Jordanian universities.
• Islamic Development Bank merit scholarship: open to Jordanian students across member countries; typically 3.0 GPA equivalent minimum, with priority for STEM applicants.

The Jordan GPA calculator above produces the 4.0 GPA equivalent automatically; use it to estimate scholarship eligibility before ordering a WES report or applying through the AMIDEAST and HCST portals.

What Counts as a Good GPA at Jordanian Universities

On the Jordanian undergraduate scale, academic standing thresholds follow a consistent pattern across most universities:

• Dean\'s List or President\'s List: typically a semester percentage average of 84 and above (Mumtaz, roughly 3.7 on the 4.0 scale) at UoJ, JUST, GJU, Yarmouk and Hashemite. Some faculties set the threshold at 85 plus with no failing grade in the semester.
• Honours classifications: Jordanian degree certificates show the Arabic descriptor matching the cumulative percentage (Mumtaz, Jayyid Jiddan, Jayyid, Maqbul). Mumtaz with Honours is reserved for graduates with a cumulative percentage in the top 5 percent of their faculty cohort plus no failing grade across the entire programme.
• Good Academic Standing: cumulative percentage at or above the Maqbul floor (60 percent / 2.0 GPA) at virtually every Jordanian undergraduate programme. Below the 60 percent cumulative typically triggers academic probation with one or two semesters to recover, after which the student may be dismissed.
• Graduation minimum: 60 percent cumulative (Maqbul / 2.0 GPA) at most universities for the bachelor degree; some engineering and medicine programmes at UoJ and JUST require a 65 percent cumulative on major-coded courses.
• Graduate-programme admission: 76 percent (Jayyid Jiddan / 3.3 GPA) is the common floor for master\'s-degree admission at Jordanian universities; PhD programmes typically require a 3.5 master\'s GPA plus a research proposal.

For international applications, a 3.0 on the 4.0 scale (Jayyid, 68 to 75 percent) is competitive for most master\'s programmes worldwide; 3.5 and above (Jayyid Jiddan upper, 80 percent and above) is competitive for top-tier US, UK and Canadian universities and for the major scholarship programmes listed in the previous section.
