How Florida International University calculates GPA

Florida International University (Florida) 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 Florida International grade scale — what makes it specific

A+ rule: FIU's standard scale (Faculty Senate, effective Fall 2016) has NO A+, NO C-, and NO D+/D-. Values: A=4.0, A-=3.67, B+=3.33, B=3.0, B-=2.67, C+=2.33, C=2.0, D=1.0, F=0. The scale jumps from C straight to D.

Failing grade: Florida International University uses "F" for a failing grade (0.0).

Repeated courses & grade replacement

First-year students can receive a limited 'NC' (no credit) grade that removes a D/F from the GPA — max two per term, four per undergraduate career. F0 marks a never-attended fail.

Academic standing

Minimum 2.0 GPA. F is an earned grade requiring an attendance code.

Good to know

FIU adopted a deliberately simplified grading scale in Fall 2016 with three omissions a generic calculator gets wrong: no A+, no C-, and no D+/D- — the ladder runs A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C, then jumps straight to D and F. New freshmen also get a limited number of 'NC' grades that can remove an early D or F from the GPA.
