Have been trying to calculate my GPA from the UAE University but in your calculator it does not show grades that have "+" (e.g. B+, C+ & D+) even though these grades are there in our transcripts and have different weighting than those without "+".

Was wondering why these are not taken into consideration when I saw that for other countries in same region using the same grading system they are included. Not having them and just using A,B,C & D significantly alters the overall GPA from a university in the UAE to one much lower.

This is usually the case when + and - grades are either not used by all universities in the country or vary from one university to another. If you can post a link to, or send us the official scale for the university, I can add it to our database with the US equivalents.

Also as far as I know all the accredited universities in the UAE use the same grading system.
