How University of Nebraska-Lincoln calculates GPA

University of Nebraska-Lincoln (Nebraska) 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 Nebraska grade scale — what makes it specific

A+ rule: Nebraska uses a 4.0 plus/minus scale; A+ and A are both 4.0 (A+ capped). Values run A-=3.67, B+=3.33, down to D-=0.67, F=0.

Failing grade: University of Nebraska-Lincoln uses "F" for a failing grade (0.0).

Repeated courses & grade replacement

Good to know

Nebraska uses a standard 4.0 plus/minus scale with A+ capped at 4.0 (three-decimal steps, A-=3.67). Its distinctive feature is 'academic bankruptcy' — under defined conditions you can wipe one or two entire semesters from your cumulative GPA, though the courses remain visible on the transcript.
