How University of Maryland, College Park calculates GPA

University of Maryland, College Park (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 Maryland grade scale — what makes it specific

A+ rule: Maryland uses a full 4.0 plus/minus scale; A+ and A are both 4.0 (A+ capped). The scale runs A+/A=4.0, A-=3.7, B+=3.3, down to D-=0.7, F=0.

Failing grade: University of Maryland, College Park uses "F" for a failing grade (0.0).

Repeated courses & grade replacement

Maryland has a grade-replacement (repeat) policy for a limited number of attempts; confirm current limits with the registrar. XF (failure for academic dishonesty) is treated as F in the GPA.

Academic standing

Minimum 2.0 cumulative GPA. A 'P' (pass) equals D- or better and doesn't affect GPA.

Good to know

Maryland uses a conventional 4.0 plus/minus scale with A+ capped at 4.0 and a full set down to D-. One distinctive mark: XF, which denotes failure due to academic dishonesty and counts as an F in the GPA. The calculator here matches the standard Maryland scale.
