How Brooklyn College, CUNY calculates GPA
Brooklyn College, CUNY 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 Brooklyn College grade scale — what makes it specific
A+ rule: CUNY runs one grading scale across all of its colleges. A+ and A are both worth 4.00, so an A+ raises no GPA above 4.0 — unlike the schools that award a 4.3. The scale runs the full width to D- at 0.70, and F is 0.00.
Failing grade: Brooklyn College, CUNY uses "F" for a failing grade (0.0).
Repeated courses & grade replacement
CUNY's F-replacement policy has applied at every one of its colleges since 1990. Up to 16 failing credits can be excluded from the GPA when the course is retaken and a C or better is earned. The F stays on the transcript — it stops counting toward the GPA, it does not disappear.

Good to know
Brooklyn College places students on probation using a flat 2.00 cumulative-GPA rule (or two straight sub-2.00 semesters) rather than the credits-attempted sliding scale several other CUNY campuses use.
The grading scale and the F-replacement rule above come from CUNY policy and are the same at every CUNY college. Everything else on this page — honors, the Dean’s List, and the retention standard — is set by Brooklyn College itself, and the CUNY colleges genuinely differ. Cum laude starts at 3.50 at Hunter and Queens but at 3.20 at City College and 3.25 at City Tech, and the retention standards split between a flat 2.0 and a sliding scale by credits attempted.
