How University of Georgia calculates GPA
University of Georgia (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 grade scale — what makes it specific
A+ rule: Georgia uses plus/minus grading with TWO distinctive omissions: there is NO A+ (top grade is A = 4.0) AND no D+ or D- (just a plain D = 1.0). The scale is A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C, C-, D, F.
Failing grade: University of Georgia uses "F" for a failing grade (0.0).
Repeated courses & grade replacement
Repeat handling follows UGA policy; confirm specifics with the registrar. GPA truncated to two decimals.
Academic standing
Minimum 2.0 cumulative GPA to graduate. Plus/minus grading has applied since Summer 2006.
Latin honors at graduation
| Honor | Requirement |
|---|---|
| cum laude | 3.60-3.74 |
| magna cum laude | 3.75-3.89 |
| summa cum laude | 3.90-4.0 |
Dean’s List
University of Georgia names students to its Dean’s List at a term GPA of 3.5 with 14 credit hours.
Academic probation and dismissal
Dismissal: on Academic Suspension or Probation, a UGA Term GPA less than 2.25 combined with failing to complete a minimum of 6 hours of coursework (3 hours in summer) leads to Academic Dismissal.

Good to know
Georgia's scale has two quirks generic calculators miss: there is no A+ (the maximum is a plain A = 4.0, decided when UGA adopted plus/minus in 2006), and there are no D+ or D- grades — only a single D worth 1.0. So the ladder runs A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C, C-, D, F. The GPA is truncated to two decimals, not rounded.
