How Montana State University calculates GPA
Montana 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 Montana State grade scale — what makes it specific
A+ rule: On the Montana State scale, there is no A+ — A = 4.0 is the top grade, and the scale runs down to D- at 0.7.
Failing grade: Montana State University uses "F" for a failing grade (0.0).
Repeated courses & grade replacement
A retake replaces the original in the GPA; only the most recent attempt's credits and grade count toward the cumulative GPA and graduation credit count.
