How Loyola University Chicago calculates GPA
Loyola University Chicago 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 Loyola Chicago grade scale — what makes it specific
A+ rule: On the Loyola Chicago scale, there is no A+ — A = 4.0 is the top grade, and there is no D-.
Failing grade: Loyola University Chicago uses "F" for a failing grade (0.0).
Repeated courses & grade replacement
Only the highest grade earned (one grade) counts toward the cumulative GPA; all attempts remain on the transcript with a repeat notation.

Good to know
Every figure here was read from Loyola Chicago’s own registrar or catalog. Where a rule is set by an individual college rather than the institution, the page says so instead of presenting one college’s number as everyone’s.
