How Norfolk State University calculates GPA
Norfolk 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 Norfolk State grade scale — what makes it specific
A+ rule: On the Norfolk 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: Norfolk State University uses "F" for a failing grade (0.0).
Repeated courses & grade replacement
A course may be repeated; only the highest grade earned counts toward the cumulative GPA, but every attempt stays on the permanent record and transcript.

Good to know
Latin honors are computed on the cumulative RESIDENT GPA and cum laude starts at 3.0000, a markedly lower threshold than most universities.
Every figure here was read from Norfolk State’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.
