How University of Central Arkansas calculates GPA
University of Central Arkansas 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 Central Arkansas grade scale — what makes it specific
A+ rule: On the Central Arkansas scale, there is no A+ — A = 4.0 is the top grade, and there are no plus or minus grades at all.
Failing grade: University of Central Arkansas uses "F" for a failing grade (0.0).
Repeated courses & grade replacement
A student may repeat in residence any course graded D, F, or WF; both grades remain on record, but only the highest grade is used in the GPA (usable once per course absent an appeal).
Academic standing
cumulative GPA below 2.0 (or, for first-time freshmen, fewer than 12 credit hours in first 30 attempted)
Latin honors at graduation
| Honor | Requirement |
|---|---|
| cum laude | 3.500-3.699 |
| magna cum laude | 3.700-3.899 |
| summa cum laude | 3.900-4.000 |
Dean’s List
University of Central Arkansas names students to its Dean’s List at a term GPA of 3.50 with minimum of twelve hours of undergraduate degree credit, no incomplete (X) grades.
Academic probation and dismissal
Academic probation / academic suspension / dismissal: cumulative GPA below 2.0 (or, for first-time freshmen, fewer than 12 credit hours in first 30 attempted).
Dismissal: suspension when cumulative GPA falls below 1.70 (1-30 credits), 1.85 (31-59), or 2.00 (60+) while on probation; third suspension is dismissal.
The minimum cumulative GPA depends on how far through the degree a student is:
| Class level | Cumulative GPA |
|---|---|
| 1-30 credits | 1.70 |
| 31-59 credits | 1.85 |
| 60+ credits | 2.00 |
