How to Compute Your NU GWA

NU uses the same GWA formula as all standard Philippine universities:

GWA = Σ(Grade × Units) ÷ Σ(Units)
  • 1
    List all your NU subjects for the semester
    Include every subject you are enrolled in with its credit units and your final grade on the 1.00–5.00 scale.
  • 2
    Multiply each grade by its units
    Example: If you got 1.75 in a 3-unit subject, that is 1.75 × 3 = 5.25.
  • 3
    Sum all the products
    Add all your (grade × units) results to get the weighted sum.
  • 4
    Divide by total units
    Divide the weighted sum by the total number of credit units enrolled. The result is your semester GWA.
