Overview

Shanghai University is a large municipal comprehensive institution supported by the city government. It has been running in Shanghai since 1922.

How grading works here

SHU records results as marks out of 100. Chinese universities generally set the pass at 60. A 4-point GPA, when a foreign application asks for one, is derived from those percentage marks.

What we have not verified

We could not retrieve an official SHU grading regulation. This page runs on the shared Chinese conversion convention, so treat its output as approximate. Since conversion tables are set locally, a mismatch with your official GPA is entirely possible.

What to do instead

Get the number from SHU in writing. An official transcript settles the question; an online estimate does not.

Funding

SHU hosts Shanghai University Shanghai Government Scholarship, which is covered separately on this site.

Known gaps in our data for this university:
  • No official SHU grading regulation retrieved; the page uses the shared Chinese percentage-to-4.0 convention.
  • Institution-specific percentage bands are unverified, so the grading-scale and percentage-conversion pages are deliberately not generated for this entry.

We publish these openly rather than filling them with guesses. Help us close one.

Grading scale

Reference model only. Tsinghua and Chinese institutions use 100-point marks natively, while conversion to a 4.0 scale can depend on the programme, cohort and receiving institution. Do not present the 4.0 mapping as a universal Tsinghua policy.

Common questions

Does SHU publish an official GPA conversion?

None that we could read. The bands are set internally and are not published, so go to the registrar.

Can I use the calculator on this page for a SHU application?

As a sanity check it is fine. As evidence in an application it is not, since the underlying conversion is generic.
