How Arizona State University calculates GPA
Arizona State University (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 ASU grade scale — what makes it specific
A+ rule: A+ may be awarded (internally 4.33) but the cumulative GPA is capped at 4.00.
Failing grade: Arizona State University uses "E" for a failing grade (0.0).
Repeated courses & grade replacement
ASU uses 'E' (not 'F') for failing. A 'D' or 'E' may be repeated once at ASU; the repeat removes the original D/E from the GPA (grade replacement), done automatically after grades post. Not available to students who have already graduated.
Academic standing
Minimum 2.00 cumulative GPA for good standing / graduation.
Latin honors at graduation
| Honor | Requirement |
|---|---|
| cum laude | 3.40-3.59 |
| magna cum laude | 3.60-3.79 |
| summa cum laude | 3.80-4.00 |
Dean’s List
Arizona State University names students to its Dean’s List at a term GPA of 3.50 or higher with 12 or more graded credit hours in a semester.
Academic probation and dismissal
Academic Warning / Probation / Disqualification: cumulative GPA below 2.00 (first term below 2.00 triggers warning; a further term without correction moves to probation).
Dismissal: disqualification if the student fails to meet the 2.00 condition again after a term on probation.

Good to know
ASU is unusual in two ways: it uses 'E' instead of 'F' for failing, and there is no D+ or D- (just D = 1.0). Although A+ carries 4.33 internally, your cumulative GPA cannot exceed 4.00. Special failing marks EN (never participated), EU (stopped participating) and XE (academic dishonesty) all count as E for GPA.
