Understanding GPA
Grade Scale (4.3 System)
A+ = 4.3
B+ = 3.3
A = 4.0
B = 3.0
A- = 3.7
B- = 2.7
C+ = 2.3
D+ = 1.3
C = 2.0
D = 1.0
C- = 1.7
D- = 0.7
F = 0.0
GPA Ranges
- 4.0+:Summa Cum Laude
- 3.7-3.99:Magna Cum Laude
- 3.5-3.69:Cum Laude / Dean's List
- 3.0-3.49:Good Standing
- 2.0-2.99:Satisfactory
- Below 2.0:Academic Probation
Sample Calculation
Example Courses:
Math (4 credits): A+ → 4 × 4.3 = 17.2
Physics (2 credits): B → 2 × 3.0 = 6.0
English (3 credits): A → 3 × 4.0 = 12.0
Calculation:
Total Credits = 9
Total Grade Points = 35.2
GPA = 35.2 ÷ 9 = 3.91
