How University of Maine calculates GPA
University of Maine 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 Maine grade scale — what makes it specific
A+ rule: On the Maine scale, there is no A+ — A = 4.0 is the top grade, and the scale runs down to D- at 0.67.
Failing grade: University of Maine uses "F" for a failing grade (0.0).
Repeated courses & grade replacement
Full replacement: repeating a course removes the prior attempt's credits and grade points entirely; only the most recent completion's credits and grade points count toward the GPA, even if lower.
Academic standing
cumulative GPA falls below 2.00 following a fall or spring term
Latin honors at graduation
| Honor | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Cum Laude | 3.30 - 3.49 |
| Magna Cum Laude | 3.50 - 3.69 |
| Summa Cum Laude | 3.70 - 4.00 |
Dean’s List
University of Maine names students to its Dean’s List at a term GPA of 3.50 or higher term GPA with 12 or more credit hours applicable toward the GPA.
Full-time Dean's List; a separate Part-time Dean's List uses a combined GPA across fall+spring
Academic probation and dismissal
Academic Probation / Academic Suspension / Academic Dismissal: cumulative GPA falls below 2.00 following a fall or spring term.
Dismissal: suspended if term GPA is 0.00 with cumulative below 2.00, or (while on probation) semester GPA <=1.00, or cumulative GPA still below the credit-based minimum (1.7 for 0-23 earned credits, 2.0 for 24+ earned credits) unless that term's GPA is 2.00+.
The minimum cumulative GPA depends on how far through the degree a student is:
| Class level | Cumulative GPA |
|---|---|
| 0-23 credits | 1.7 |
| 24 or more | 2.0 |

Good to know
Suspension/probation minima scale by earned credits (1.7 for 0-23 credits, 2.0 for 24+), separate from the flat 2.00 used to define 'good standing' itself.
Every figure here was read from Maine’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.
