How Elon University calculates GPA
Elon 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 Elon grade scale — what makes it specific
A+ rule: On the Elon scale, there is no A+ — A = 4.0 is the top grade, and the scale runs down to D- at 0.7.
Failing grade: Elon University uses "F" for a failing grade (0.0).
Repeated courses & grade replacement
A course repeated within four semesters of attendance (excluding winter and summer) counts only once in the cumulative GPA and the most recent grade is used; earlier attempts are marked RP. A course repeated more than once counts each time, and an honor-code F always counts.
Academic standing
cumulative GPA below 2.0 (an academic notice letter is sent for a semester GPA below 2.0 while the cumulative GPA is still above 2.0)
Latin honors at graduation
| Honor | Requirement |
|---|---|
| cum laude | 3.5 |
| magna cum laude | 3.7 |
| summa cum laude | 3.9 |
Dean’s List
Elon University names students to its Dean’s List at a term GPA of 3.5 with a minimum of 12 semester hours in the semester, with no grade below B-.
Academic probation and dismissal
Academic warning: cumulative GPA below 2.0 (an academic notice letter is sent for a semester GPA below 2.0 while the cumulative GPA is still above 2.0).
Dismissal: academic suspension after a cumulative GPA below 2.0 for two consecutive semesters; a second suspension is final and results in expulsion.

Good to know
Grade replacement on a retake only applies if the course is repeated within four semesters of attendance; Elon also keeps a President's List for students with no grade below A- in 12 hours.
Every figure here was read from Elon’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.
