How Old Dominion University calculates GPA
Old Dominion 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 Old Dominion grade scale — what makes it specific
A+ rule: On the Old Dominion scale, there is no A+ — A = 4.0 is the top grade, and the scale runs down to D- at 0.7.
Failing grade: Old Dominion University uses "F" for a failing grade (0.0).
Repeated courses & grade replacement
Undergraduates with an original grade of C- or lower may repeat up to five courses for grade forgiveness; only the first repeat of a given course qualifies, and it must be the same course number, title and credit value.

Good to know
Grade forgiveness is capped at five repeated courses total, and only applies where the original grade was C- or below.
Every figure here was read from Old Dominion’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.
