How Drexel University calculates GPA
Drexel 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 Drexel grade scale — what makes it specific
A+ rule: On the Drexel scale, A+ is awarded but capped at 4.0, and there is no D-.
Failing grade: Drexel University uses "F" for a failing grade (0.0).
Repeated courses & grade replacement
By default all attempts (original and repeat) are averaged into the cumulative GPA; undergraduates may petition for a 'GPA adjustment' to have only the first passing attempt's credits count.

Good to know
Drexel currently runs on a quarter system for undergraduates; it is scheduled to switch to semesters starting August 2027.
Every figure here was read from Drexel’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.
