How University of Alabama calculates GPA

University of Alabama (Alabama) calculates GPA as a credit-weighted average: multiply each course's grade points by its credits, add them up, and divide by total credits. The detail that matters is the grade scale.

The Alabama grade scale — what makes it specific

A+ rule: Alabama uses a 4.0 plus/minus scale; a plus adds 0.33 and a minus subtracts 0.33 (e.g. C+ = 2.33, A- = 3.67). A cumulative GPA of 4.0 is the highest an undergraduate can receive (A+ capped). Full set down to D-.

Failing grade: University of Alabama uses "F" for a failing grade (0.0).

Repeated courses & grade replacement

All attempted work is included in the GPA — failed, repeated, or insufficient coursework all count. GPA is rounded to the third decimal.

Academic standing

Minimum 2.0 GPA. Overall GPA includes transfer work; institutional GPA is UA-only.

Good to know

Alabama uses a three-decimal plus/minus scale (a plus or minus shifts the grade by 0.33, so A- = 3.67 and C+ = 2.33) with the cumulative GPA capped at 4.0 — there's no A+ boost above 4.0. Unlike schools with grade replacement, Alabama counts every attempt: repeated and failed coursework all stay in the GPA.
