National University GPA
How National University calculates GPA
National 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 National University grade scale — what makes it specific
A+ rule: On the National University scale, there is no A+ — A = 4.0 is the top grade, and the scale runs down to D- at 0.7.
Failing grade: National University uses "F" for a failing grade (0.0).
Repeated courses & grade replacement
Retaking an undergraduate class (max two retakes, three attempts total) replaces the grade: the GPA is factored on the best grade earned, though the transcript displays all attempts.
Academic standing
Minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0 (Bachelor's degrees) not met at a SAP evaluation point triggers Warning, then Suspension
Latin honors at graduation
| Honor | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Cum Laude | 3.50-3.69 |
| Magna Cum Laude | 3.70-3.89 |
| Summa Cum Laude | 3.90+ |
Dean’s List
National University names students to its Dean’s List at a term GPA of 3.5 (undergraduate) with 6 semester credit hours.
Quarterly recognition based on the quarter GPA of classes completed in the assessment period, not cumulative GPA
Academic probation and dismissal
SAP Warning / Suspension / Probation / Dismissal: Minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0 (Bachelor's degrees) not met at a SAP evaluation point triggers Warning, then Suspension.
Dismissal: Fails to regain 'Met' status after Probation, cannot reach 'Met' within max timeframe, or does not appeal Suspension.
The minimum cumulative GPA depends on how far through the degree a student is:
| Class level | Cumulative GPA |
|---|---|
| 180 attempted credit hours (Bachelor's, 120-credit program) | 2.0 |

Good to know
NU ties academic-standing status (Warning/Suspension/Probation/Dismissal) directly to its federal Title IV Satisfactory Academic Progress policy rather than running a separate GPA-only probation track.
Every figure here was read from National University’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.
