Missouri GPA
How University of Missouri calculates GPA
University of Missouri (Missouri) 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 Missouri grade scale — what makes it specific
A+ rule: Missouri (Mizzou) uses a 4.0 plus/minus scale; A+ and A are both 4.00 (A+ capped). Full set A-=3.7, B+=3.3, down to D-=0.7, F=0.
Failing grade: University of Missouri uses "F" for a failing grade (0.0).
Repeated courses & grade replacement
Repeat handling follows Mizzou policy; confirm specifics with the registrar.
Academic standing
Minimum 2.0 cumulative GPA for good standing. A 'C or better' rule is read as the C range (includes C-).
Latin honors at graduation
| Honor | Requirement |
|---|---|
| cum laude | 3.600-3.799 |
| magna cum laude | 3.800-3.899 |
| summa cum laude | 3.900-4.000 |
Dean’s List
The threshold is set by each college.
| College or school | GPA | Minimum credits |
|---|---|---|
| College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources (CAFNR) | 3.5 term GPA (with 3.0 cumulative GPA) | 12 graded hours per semester |
| College of Arts and Science | 3.5+ semester GPA (with 3.0+ cumulative GPA) | 12 or more graded (A-F) credit hours |
| College of Engineering | 3.0-3.49 (Dean's List); 3.5-4.0 (High Dean's List) | 12 or more graded hours (not including S/U courses) |
| College of Health Sciences | — | — |
| Robert J. Trulaske, Sr. College of Business | 3.5 term GPA (with 3.0 cumulative GPA) | 12 graded credit hours |
| Trulaske College of Business | — | — |
These cut-offs are recalculated and apply to not applicable (fixed GPA policy, not recalculated annually). Check the registrar for the current year before relying on them.
Academic probation and dismissal
Academic notice / academic warning: term GPA below 2.0 while in good standing triggers academic notice.
Dismissal: on academic notice, must establish 2.0 term and cumulative GPA within two successive terms or moved to academic warning, then dismissal if 2.0 term and cumulative GPA is not achieved the following term.

Good to know
Missouri uses a standard 4.0 plus/minus scale with A+ capped at 4.00 and a full set down to D-. One practical note Mizzou spells out: course rules requiring 'a C' mean the C range, so a C- satisfies them.
