How Boise State University calculates GPA
Boise State University 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 Boise State grade scale — what makes it specific
A+ rule: On the Boise State scale, A+ is awarded but capped at 4.0, and the scale runs down to D- at 0.7.
Failing grade: Boise State University uses "F" for a failing grade (0.0).
Repeated courses & grade replacement
Grade replacement: for courses repeated (Fall 2001 forward), only the most recent grade counts toward cumulative GPA; individual courses capped at two attempts (three with department approval), six repeats total for undergraduates.
Academic standing
1.75 cumulative GPA (0-25 cumulative credits); 2.00 cumulative GPA (26+ cumulative credits)
Latin honors at graduation
| Honor | Requirement |
|---|---|
| cum laude | 3.500-3.749 |
| magna cum laude | 3.750-3.949 |
| summa cum laude | 3.950-4.000 |
Dean’s List
Boise State University names students to its Dean’s List at a term GPA of 3.50 with full-time enrollment (fall or spring semester).
Administered per-college but with a common tiered scale (Honors 3.50-3.74, High Honors 3.75-3.99, Highest Honors 4.00) confirmed via the College of Health Sciences; a single central registrar page with the numeric criteria was not found.
Academic probation and dismissal
Academic probation: 1.75 cumulative GPA (0-25 cumulative credits); 2.00 cumulative GPA (26+ cumulative credits).
Dismissal: Cumulative GPA below the applicable minimum AND semester GPA below 2.00.
The minimum cumulative GPA depends on how far through the degree a student is:
| Class level | Cumulative GPA |
|---|---|
| 0-25 credits | 1.75 |
| 26+ credits | 2.00 |

Good to know
Every figure here was read from Boise State’s own registrar or catalog. Where a rule is set by an individual college rather than the institution, the page says so instead of presenting one college’s number as everyone’s.
