Frequently Asked Questions
How do I calculate my GPA?
GPA = Sum of (Grade Points × Credit Hours) ÷ Total Credit Hours. A = 4.0, B = 3.0, C = 2.0, D = 1.0, F = 0. If you got A (3 credits) and B (4 credits): (4.0×3 + 3.0×4) ÷ 7 = 3.43 GPA.
What GPA do I need for the Dean's List?
Most universities require 3.5-3.7 GPA for Dean's List. Some require top 10-15% of the class. Summa cum laude: typically 3.9+. Magna cum laude: 3.7-3.89. Cum laude: 3.5-3.69. Requirements vary by institution.
How do plus and minus grades affect GPA?
Common scale: A+ = 4.0, A = 4.0, A- = 3.7, B+ = 3.3, B = 3.0, B- = 2.7, C+ = 2.3, C = 2.0, C- = 1.7, D+ = 1.3, D = 1.0, F = 0. An A- in a 3-credit course costs 0.9 grade points compared to an A.
