Example
Example: a first-term GANO for an international student, with a pass/fail course
Daniel (fictitious), in his first term of economics at a university in Istanbul, needs his GANO and its 100-point equivalent for a scholarship form. He copies his transcript, one course a line, letter grade then ECTS: Introduction to Economics BA 6, Mathematics for Economists CB 6, Principles of Accounting AA 5, Academic English BB 4, Turkish for Foreigners I YT 3, Statistics I DC 6.
- Each letter becomes its points and is weighted by the ECTS: BA 3.50 × 6 = 21, CB 2.50 × 6 = 15, AA 4.00 × 5 = 20, BB 3.00 × 4 = 12, DC 1.50 × 6 = 9.
- 77 points ÷ 27 ECTS = 2.85. Turkish for Foreigners I is graded YT (passed, no letter), so it is listed under Left out and its 3 ECTS do not count.
- The 100-point equivalent comes from YÖK’s table: 30 + (2.85 − 1) × 70 ÷ 3 = 73.16, cut rather than rounded, as the table prints it.
- Had Statistics I been FF instead of DC, the same 27 ECTS would give 68 ÷ 27 = 2.52, or 65.46 on 100.
| Course | Grade | ECTS | Points × ECTS |
|---|---|---|---|
| Introduction to Economics | BA | 6 | 21.00 |
| Mathematics for Economists | CB | 6 | 15.00 |
| Principles of Accounting | AA | 5 | 20.00 |
| Academic English | BB | 4 | 12.00 |
| Statistics I | DC | 6 | 9.00 |
| Turkish for Foreigners I | YT | 3 | left out |
| Total | 27 | 77.00 |
Average 2.85, on 100 points (YÖK table) 73.16, on 27 ECTS. Some universities use a conversion table of their own, so for an official form check the one your registrar uses.
How it works
- Type each course on a line: its name, the letter grade (AA, BA, BB, CB, CC, DC, DD, FD, FF), then its ECTS or credits.
- The GANO appears on the 4.00 scale, with its equivalent out of 100 from YÖK’s conversion table.
- Pass/fail courses (G, YT, YZ, M) are left out and listed, as transcripts leave them out of the average.
Frequently asked questions
- How is the GANO worked out?
- Each letter has its points — AA 4.00, BA 3.50, BB 3.00, CB 2.50, CC 2.00, DC 1.50, DD 1.00, FD 0.50, FF 0 — multiplied by the course’s ECTS (or credits), added up and divided by the total. DZ (failed for absence) counts as FF.
- How is it converted to 100 points?
- By YÖK’s table for the 4-point system, which runs in equal steps from 1.00 = 30 to 4.00 = 100 (2.00 = 53.33, 3.00 = 76.66). Some universities use their own table; check yours for official use.
- Are pass/fail courses counted in the GANO?
- No. Courses graded G, YT, YZ or M carry no letter points, so they are left out of the average and listed under Left out, line and all. Their ECTS are not added to the total either.
- Is the GANO rounded before it is converted?
- Yes. The average is rounded to two decimals first, as a transcript shows it, and that figure is looked up: 2.85 gives 73.16. The table’s result is then cut, not rounded, to two decimals, which is why 3.00 gives 76.66.
- What about a course I retook?
- Type only the attempt your university counts. If it counts the latest grade, leave the old line out: a course typed twice is counted twice, which pulls the average toward the old grade.
- Is anything uploaded?
- No. It is worked out in your browser, and nothing you type leaves your computer.
