How Auburn University calculates GPA
Auburn University (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 Auburn grade scale — what makes it specific
A+ rule: Auburn uses whole-letter grades ONLY: A=4, B=3, C=2, D=1, F=0. Auburn does not recognize pluses or minuses in the official GPA.
Failing grade: Auburn University uses "F" for a failing grade (0.0).
Repeated courses & grade replacement
Grade adjustment: regularly admitted undergraduates (Fall 2000 onward) may delete up to three D or F grades from the cumulative GPA. WF (withdrawn failing) counts as F.
Academic standing
Minimum 2.0 GPA. Only Auburn coursework counts toward the GPA.
Latin honors at graduation
| Honor | Requirement |
|---|---|
| cum laude | 3.40 |
| magna cum laude | 3.60 |
| summa cum laude | 3.80 |
Dean’s List
Auburn University names students to its Dean’s List at a term GPA of 3.75 with 12 credit hours, exclusive of any S-U option courses.
Academic probation and dismissal
Academic warning: cumulative GPA on Auburn coursework below 2.0.
Dismissal: a student on "Last Warning" who does not achieve at least a 2.2 term GPA or reach the overall GPA target faces dismissal.
The minimum cumulative GPA depends on how far through the degree a student is:
| Class level | Cumulative GPA |
|---|---|
| 0-30.999 hours earned | 1.50 minimum cumulative GPA (suspension threshold) |
| 31-60.999 hours earned | 1.80 |
| 61-90.999 hours earned | 1.90 |
| 91+ hours earned | 1.97 |

Good to know
Auburn is a whole-letter school: it explicitly does not recognize pluses or minuses in the official GPA, so the scale is simply A=4, B=3, C=2, D=1, F=0. It also offers grade adjustment — undergraduates can delete up to three D/F grades from the cumulative GPA.
