How University of Arizona calculates GPA
University of Arizona (Arizona) 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 Arizona grade scale — what makes it specific
A+ rule: Arizona uses NO plus/minus grades for undergraduates (plus/minus exist only in the Law J.D. program), and the failing grade is E, not F. Regular grades are A, B, C, D, E.
Failing grade: University of Arizona uses "E" for a failing grade (0.0).
Repeated courses & grade replacement
Students may attempt a course up to three times; repeat/grade-replacement handling depends on program (policy updated Fall 2025). Confirm with the registrar.
Academic standing
Minimum 2.0 cumulative GPA to graduate; some colleges (Engineering, Eller) require higher. P/F and S/P/F grades are excluded from GPA.

Good to know
Arizona is a no-plus/minus school: the only regular grades are A, B, C, D, and E (A=4, B=3, C=2, D=1, E=0). Two things trip people up — there are no A-, B+, etc. for undergraduates (those exist only in the Law school), and the failing grade is recorded as E, not F. So a calculator offering plus/minus rows doesn't match Arizona's actual scale.
