How Georgia State University calculates GPA
Georgia State University (Georgia) 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 Georgia State grade scale — what makes it specific
A+ rule: Georgia State's official table assigns A+ = 4.30 (NOT capped — your GPA can exceed 4.0). There is also no D+ or D- — just a single D = 1.0. Full set: A+=4.3, A=4.0, A-=3.7, B+=3.3, B=3.0, B-=2.7, C+=2.3, C=2.0, C-=1.7, D=1.0, F=0.
Failing grade: Georgia State University uses "F" for a failing grade (0.0).
Repeated courses & grade replacement
WF is treated the same as F in the GPA. No more than 12 semester hours of D grades may apply toward degree requirements; some programs limit this further.
Academic standing
Minimum 2.0 GPA. A grade of D earns credit but doesn't satisfy courses requiring a C or higher.
Dean’s List
Georgia State University names students to its Dean’s List at a term GPA of 3.5 with 9 semester hours (fall/spring); 6 semester hours in summer.
Academic probation and dismissal
Semester: cumulative Georgia State GPA below 2.0 and the student was on Supervision (not 'good standing') the previous semester.
Dismissal: cumulative GPA below 2.0 while already on probation (exclusion).

Good to know
Georgia State is one of the relatively few schools where an A+ is worth 4.3 (not capped at 4.0), so a GSU GPA can rise above 4.0. It also has no D+ or D- — just a single D worth 1.0. Both quirks are easy for a generic calculator to miss; this page uses GSU's exact registrar table.
