How Columbus State University calculates GPA
Columbus 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 Columbus State grade scale — what makes it specific
A+ rule: On the Columbus State scale, there is no A+ — A = 4.0 is the top grade, and there are no plus or minus grades at all.
Failing grade: Columbus State University uses "F" for a failing grade (0.0).
Repeated courses & grade replacement
A repeat replaces the original in the institutional (forgiveness) GPA: only the highest grade is counted.

Good to know
Columbus State calls academic probation 'University Support Status', and its Dean's List is a capped band (3.60-3.79) - a higher GPA moves a student to the President's List rather than the Dean's List.
Every figure here was read from Columbus 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.
