Converting a transcript course by course
An evaluator like WES does not take a single cumulative average and scale it. It walks the transcript line by line, restates each course grade on the United States scale, and then averages those grade points weighted by credits. This page follows the same order. Enter one line per course with its name, credits and grade, fill in what each original grade is worth in grade points, and you get the per-course conversion alongside the credit-weighted average. The answer can differ from scaling one cumulative average across.
How the numbers are worked out
Each course contributes its grade points times its credits; those products are summed and divided by total credits to give the credit-weighted average. Rounding happens only at display time, so no rounded figure is ever multiplied again. For comparison the page also shows the plain unweighted average and the gap between the two. Failed courses can be included or left out, and when they are left out their count and credits are reported separately. A malformed line is reported by its line number.
What this page does not do
No evaluator's official conversion table is built in, and the page does not decide whose standard is correct. It also does not stand in for institution verification or a review of which courses are recognised.
Frequently Asked Questions
WES, ECE and SpanTran each convert differently, so the same transcript yields different results. With no single authoritative table, using the figures from the evaluator you submit to is what keeps the answer aligned with that evaluator.
The weighted average lets high-credit courses count for more, while the unweighted one treats every course alike. When credits vary the two drift apart, so it is worth checking which method your evaluator uses.
You can choose. Some evaluators keep failed courses in the average, so pick what matches your destination and check the results for how many courses were left out if you exclude them.
