How Brigham Young University calculates GPA
Brigham Young 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 BYU grade scale — what makes it specific
A+ rule: On the BYU scale, there is no A+ — A = 4.0 is the top grade, and the plus grades sit 0.4 above the base letter rather than the usual 0.3, so B+ is 3.4 and not 3.3, and the scale runs down to D- at 0.7, and the failing grade is written <strong>E</strong>, not F.
Failing grade: Brigham Young University uses "E" for a failing grade (0.0).
Academic standing
BYU cumulative GPA falls below 2.0
Latin honors at graduation
| Honor | Requirement |
|---|---|
| cum laude | 3.94 (June 2024 term) |
| magna cum laude | 3.97 (June 2024 term) |
| summa cum laude | 4.00 (June 2024 term) |
Cutoffs are recalculated each graduating term rather than fixed university-wide numbers; figures shown are the published June 2024 cutoffs.

Good to know
BYU's grading scale is not evenly spaced: plus grades sit 0.3 above the base letter (A- = 3.7) but 0.4 below the next full letter (B+ = 3.4), unlike the common 0.33-step scale.
Every figure on this page was read from BYU’s own registrar or catalog. Where a rule is set by an individual college rather than the institution, the page says so rather than presenting one college’s number as everyone’s.
