How Central Michigan University calculates GPA
Central Michigan 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 Central Michigan grade scale — what makes it specific
A+ rule: On the Central Michigan scale, there is no A+ — A = 4.0 is the top grade, and the scale runs down to D- at 0.7, and the failing grade is written <strong>E</strong>, not F.
Failing grade: Central Michigan University uses "E" for a failing grade (0.0).
Repeated courses & grade replacement
Repeats are marked 'R' for the last attempt and 'X' for earlier attempts; only the last (R) entry's credits, points and grade count toward cumulative GPA.
Academic standing
varies by credit hours attempted (e.g. 1.00-1.99 cumulative GPA for 6-18 attempted credits, rising toward 1.95-1.99 for 86+ credits)
Latin honors at graduation
| Honor | Requirement |
|---|---|
| cum laude | 3.50-3.74 |
| magna cum laude | 3.75-3.89 |
| summa cum laude | 3.90-4.00 |
Dean’s List
Central Michigan University names students to its Dean’s List at a term GPA of 3.5 with 12 letter-graded credit hours.
Academic probation and dismissal
Academic probation / suspension: varies by credit hours attempted (e.g. 1.00-1.99 cumulative GPA for 6-18 attempted credits, rising toward 1.95-1.99 for 86+ credits).
Dismissal: falling at or below the suspension/dismissal band for the student's attempted-credit tier (e.g. below 1.00 for 6-18 attempted credits, below 1.94 for 86+ credits), or three consecutive semesters on probation.
The minimum cumulative GPA depends on how far through the degree a student is:
| Class level | Cumulative GPA |
|---|---|
| 6-18 credits | probation 1.00-1.99; suspension/dismissal 0.0-0.99 |
| 19-35 credits | probation 1.50-1.99; suspension/dismissal 0.0-1.49 |
| 36-45 credits | probation 1.70-1.99; suspension/dismissal 0.0-1.69 |
| 46-58 credits | probation 1.80-1.99; suspension/dismissal 0.0-1.79 |
| 59-71 credits | probation 1.85-1.99; suspension/dismissal 0.0-1.84 |
| 72-85 credits | probation 1.90-1.99; suspension/dismissal 0.0-1.89 |
| 86+ credits | probation 1.95-1.99; suspension/dismissal 0.0-1.94 |

Every figure here was read from Central Michigan’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.
