Metropolitan State (Minnesota) GPA
How Metropolitan State University calculates GPA
Metropolitan 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 Metropolitan State (Minnesota) grade scale — what makes it specific
A+ rule: On the Metropolitan State (Minnesota) scale, there is no A+ — A = 4.0 is the top grade, and there are no plus or minus grades at all.
Failing grade: Metropolitan State University uses "F" for a failing grade (0.0).
Repeated courses & grade replacement
A single repeat replaces the original: only the higher grade counts. If a course is repeated more than once, all later attempts count and only one repeat attempt can be excluded.
Academic standing
cumulative Metro State GPA below 2.00 and/or cumulative completion rate below 67% places a student on Academic Warning; 'Academic Probation' applies only after reinstatement and requires a semester GPA of 2.25 or higher and a 75% semester completion rate
Latin honors at graduation
| Honor | Requirement |
|---|---|
| cum laude | 3.700 |
| magna cum laude | 3.800 |
| summa cum laude | 3.900 |
Academic probation and dismissal
Academic warning: cumulative Metro State GPA below 2.00 and/or cumulative completion rate below 67% places a student on Academic Warning; 'Academic Probation' applies only after reinstatement and requires a semester GPA of 2.25 or higher and a 75% semester completion rate.
Dismissal: Academic Suspension follows a semester on Academic Warning without returning to Good Academic Standing; the student must sit out three semesters before requesting reinstatement.

Every figure here was read from Metropolitan State (Minnesota)’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.
