CSU Channel Islands GPA
How California State University-Channel Islands calculates GPA
California State University-Channel Islands 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 CSU Channel Islands grade scale — what makes it specific
A+ rule: On the CSU Channel Islands scale, A+ is awarded but capped at 4.0, and the scale runs down to D- at 0.7.
Failing grade: California State University-Channel Islands uses "F" for a failing grade (0.0).
Repeated courses & grade replacement
Grade forgiveness for up to 16 CI semester units (a course only once): the repeat grade replaces the original if equal or higher, otherwise the original stands. A further 12 units may be repeated for grade averaging, where both grades count.
Academic standing
cumulative or CSUCI GPA falls below 2.0
Latin honors at graduation
| Honor | Requirement |
|---|---|
| cum laude | 3.50-3.74 |
| magna cum laude | 3.75-3.89 |
| summa cum laude | 3.90-4.0 |
Dean’s List
California State University-Channel Islands names students to its Dean’s List at a term GPA of 3.75 with 12 or more letter-graded units in the semester (or across one academic year).
Published as “Semester Honors” rather than a Dean's List
Academic probation and dismissal
Academic notice (CSUCI's renamed academic probation): cumulative or CSUCI GPA falls below 2.0.
Dismissal: academic disqualification once already on academic notice, at a cumulative CI GPA below the class-level figure.
The minimum cumulative GPA depends on how far through the degree a student is:
| Class level | Cumulative GPA |
|---|---|
| freshman | 1.50 |
| sophomore | 1.70 |
| junior | 1.85 |
| senior | 1.95 |

Good to know
CI renamed academic probation “Academic Notice”, sets disqualification GPAs that rise by class level, and recognises a term at 3.75 as “Semester Honors” rather than a Dean's List.
Every figure here was read from CSU Channel Islands’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.
