How Metropolitan State University of Denver calculates GPA
Metropolitan State University of Denver 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 MSU Denver grade scale — what makes it specific
A+ rule: On the MSU Denver scale, A+ is awarded but capped at 4.0, and the scale runs down to D- at 0.67.
Failing grade: Metropolitan State University of Denver uses "F" for a failing grade (0.0).
Repeated courses & grade replacement
Retaking a course replaces the original grade: only the best grade and its credit count toward GPA and earned hours; all attempts stay on the transcript.
Latin honors at graduation
There is no university-wide cut-off at Metropolitan State University of Denver — each college sets its own. Magna and summa cum laude cutoffs are set per college (e.g., Business: summa 3.89/magna 3.75; Letters, Arts & Sciences: summa 3.93/magna 3.87); cum laude is flat at 3.65 across all colleges. Graduate students are not awarded these honors.
Dean’s List
Metropolitan State University of Denver names students to its Dean’s List at a term GPA of 3.85 (President's Honor List); 3.50-3.84 (Provost's Honor List) with evaluated at cumulative credit milestones (after 30-60, 60-90, and beyond 90 credits), not per term.
MSU Denver has no policy called 'Dean's List'; its equivalents are the President's Honor List and Provost's Honor List, computed cumulatively at credit milestones rather than every semester.

Good to know
MSU Denver sets Latin honors cutoffs per college rather than university-wide, and its honor-roll equivalents (President's/Provost's Honor Lists) are evaluated at cumulative credit milestones instead of every term.
Every figure here was read from MSU Denver’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.
