How Ohio University calculates GPA
Ohio 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 Ohio University grade scale — what makes it specific
A+ rule: On the Ohio University scale, there is no A+ — A = 4.0 is the top grade, and the scale runs down to D- at 0.67.
Failing grade: Ohio University uses "F" for a failing grade (0.0).
Repeated courses & grade replacement
A retake's grade replaces the earlier one in the GPA even if lower; undergraduates may retake a course at most twice beyond the first attempt (since Summer 2010-11).
Academic standing
below 2.0 minimum accumulative GPA
Latin honors at graduation
| Honor | Requirement |
|---|---|
| cum laude | 3.500-3.749 |
| magna cum laude | 3.750-3.899 |
| summa cum laude | 3.900-4.000 |
Dean’s List
Ohio University names students to its Dean’s List at a term GPA of 3.5-3.999 with 12 hours attempted for letter grades.
Academic probation and dismissal
Academic probation / dismissal: below 2.0 minimum accumulative GPA.
Dismissal: fails the credit-tiered GPA floor below (or below 2.0 at 90+ credits).
The minimum cumulative GPA depends on how far through the degree a student is:
| Class level | Cumulative GPA |
|---|---|
| 0-29.99 credits | 1.6 |
| 30-59.99 credits | 1.8 |
| 60-89.99 credits | 1.9 |
| 90+ credits | 2.0 |

Good to know
The probation/dismissal GPA table found is the College of Arts & Sciences' own credit-tiered standard (1.6 at 0-29 credits rising to 2.0 at 90+); other Ohio University colleges set their own thresholds, so this is not a university-wide figure.
Every figure on this page was read from Ohio University’s own registrar or catalog. Where a rule is set by an individual college rather than the institution, the page says so rather than presenting one college’s number as everyone’s.
