How Kennesaw State University calculates GPA
Kennesaw State 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 Kennesaw State grade scale — what makes it specific
A+ rule: On the Kennesaw State scale, there is no A+ — A = 4.0 is the top grade, and there are no plus or minus grades at all — only A, B, C, D and F.
Failing grade: Kennesaw State University uses "F" for a failing grade (0.0).
Repeated courses & grade replacement
The highest grade earned counts toward the primary institutional GPA (used for academic standing/honors), but every attempt remains on the permanent record and counts toward the cumulative Board of Regents GPA.
Academic standing
Institutional GPA remains below 2.00 after a prior academic warning
