How North Dakota State University calculates GPA
North Dakota 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 North Dakota State grade scale — what makes it specific
A+ rule: On the North Dakota State scale, there is no A+ — A = 4.0 is the top grade, and there are no plus or minus grades at all.
Failing grade: North Dakota State University uses "F" for a failing grade (0.0).
Repeated courses & grade replacement
A repeated course replaces the original attempt for GPA purposes; only the most recent attempt is used to calculate cumulative GPA, though all attempts remain on the transcript.
Academic standing
Cumulative GPA below 2.00 (good standing requires 2.00+; falling below triggers Academic Alert).
Latin honors at graduation

Good to know
NDSU grades on whole letters only (A, B, C, D, F) with no plus/minus grades at all -- a genuine outlier compared to most peer universities, which changes how close a repeated B+/B- style GPA can get to a whole-point average.
Every figure here was read from North Dakota 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.
