How grading works at SMU

SMU grades all courses — across all six schools (Accountancy, Business, Computing and Information Systems, Economics, Law and Social Sciences) — on a 4-point grading system, with a scale running from A+ (4.3) down to F (0.0). Unlike some other universities, SMU's A+ carries a real premium over a plain A rather than sharing its value.

Each letter grade corresponds to a mark range on your coursework and examinations, from 86 and above for an A+ down to 49 and below for an F. See the Grade Scale Reference above for the full grade-to-point mapping.

Your official SMU transcript records the letter grade for each course, not the underlying numeric mark.

Frequently asked questions

What grading scheme does Singapore Management University (SMU) use?
SMU uses a letter-grade grading system on a 0.0–4.3 scale with 12 grade levels: A+ = 4.30, A = 4.00, A- = 3.70, B+ = 3.30, B = 3.00, B- = 2.70, C+ = 2.30, C = 2.00, C- = 1.70, D+ = 1.30, D = 1.00, F = 0.00.
Where does this SMU grade scale come from?
From SMU's official grading policy, published at geo.smu.edu.sg. The grade table on this page is the one the policy sets out, verified Aug 2026.
Does an A+ give you more GPA points than an A at SMU?

Yes. SMU's own grading table gives A+ a grade point of 4.3, above the 4.0 given to a plain A — a genuine 0.3-point premium, not a tie. This is different from some other Singapore universities (for example NUS, where A+ and A share the same top grade point).

Does SMU record my mark or my letter grade on my transcript?

Your SMU transcript records the letter grade for each course, not the underlying numeric mark. SMU does publish the mark range behind each letter grade (for example, 74–76 marks corresponds to a B), but the mark itself is not what appears on your transcript or what SMU uses as the official record of your performance.

How do I convert semester GPA to cumulative GPA at SMU?
Your cumulative GPA is the credit-weighted average of your semester GPAs across every semester: (semester GPA₁ × credits₁ + … + semester GPAₙ × creditsₙ) ÷ (credits₁ + … + creditsₙ). Save each semester to the tracker on this page, by course or as a quick semester GPA + credits entry, and it works out your cumulative GPA on every save, edit and delete.
Is this SMU GPA calculator free, and is my data private?
Yes. GPAWise is free, with no signup, and your courses and saved semesters stay in your browser: nothing is sent to our servers. "Clear all tracker data" on the tracker wipes them at any time.
