How University of Mississippi calculates GPA
University of Mississippi 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 Ole Miss grade scale — what makes it specific
A+ rule: On the Ole Miss scale, there is no A+ — A = 4.0 is the top grade, and there are no plus or minus grades at all — only A, B, C, D and F.
Failing grade: University of Mississippi uses "F" for a failing grade (0.0).
Repeated courses & grade replacement
All attempts normally remain in the cumulative GPA (no automatic replacement), but a Forgiveness Policy lets students exclude up to four courses graded C-, D, or F from the GPA, marking the original with an 'R'.
Academic standing
resident cumulative GPA below 1.60 (1-30 hrs), 1.80 (31-60 hrs), or 2.00 (61+ hrs) attempted
Latin honors at graduation
| Honor | Requirement |
|---|---|

Dean’s List
University of Mississippi names students to its Dean’s List at a term GPA of 3.50-3.74 with 12 graded (A through F) semester hours.
Academic probation and dismissal
Academic probation / academic suspension / academic dismissal: resident cumulative GPA below 1.60 (1-30 hrs), 1.80 (31-60 hrs), or 2.00 (61+ hrs) attempted.
Dismissal: on probation, failing to earn a 2.00 term GPA leads to suspension; failing the 2.00 retention standard again after returning from suspension leads to dismissal.
The minimum cumulative GPA depends on how far through the degree a student is:
| Class level | Cumulative GPA |
|---|---|
| 1-30 credits | 1.60 |
| 31-60 credits | 1.80 |
| 61 or more credits | 2.00 |
