How Johns Hopkins University calculates GPA
Johns Hopkins University (Maryland) 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 Johns Hopkins grade scale — what makes it specific
A+ rule: Johns Hopkins uses a 4.0 plus/minus scale; A+ and A both equal 4.0 (A+ capped). There is no D-.
Failing grade: Johns Hopkins University uses "F" for a failing grade (0.0).
Repeated courses & grade replacement
On a repeated course, the most recent grade replaces the earlier one in the GPA, though both remain on the transcript.
Academic standing
Dean's List is a 3.5+ term GPA with at least 14 credits (12 graded). Homewood schools (Arts & Sciences, Engineering) share this scale.
Good to know
Johns Hopkins uses a standard 4.0 plus/minus scale with A+ capped at 4.0 and no D-. On a repeat, the most recent grade replaces the original in the GPA. Hopkins is also known for 'covered grades' in the first semester (a P/F-style cushion), though that's a first-year policy rather than a scale difference.
