How Oregon State University calculates GPA
Oregon State University (Oregon) 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 Oregon State grade scale — what makes it specific
A+ rule: OSU uses a 4.0 plus/minus scale (Academic Regulations 17-19) topping out at A=4.0 (no A+), down to D-=0.7, F=0. Valid grades: A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C, C-, D+, D, D-, F.
Failing grade: Oregon State University uses "F" for a failing grade (0.0).
Repeated courses & grade replacement
On a repeated OSU course, both attempts appear on the record but only the SECOND attempt counts toward credits, requirements, and GPA (AR 19, revised 2020-21). Quarter system.
Academic standing
Minimum 2.0 GPA. Incompletes carry an 'alternate grade' that becomes the grade of record if unresolved within one year.
Latin honors at graduation
| Honor | Requirement |
|---|---|
| cum laude | 3.50-3.69 |
| magna cum laude | 3.70-3.84 |
| summa cum laude | 3.85-4.00 |
Dean’s List
Oregon State University names students to its Dean’s List at a term GPA of 3.50 or above with at least 6 graded credits for the term.
Academic probation and dismissal
Academic Warning / Academic Probation / Academic Suspension: students who have attempted 24 or more credits at OSU and have an OSU cumulative GPA below 2.0 are placed on Academic Probation (term GPA below 2.0 with fewer credits triggers Academic Warning instead).
Dismissal: students on Academic Probation with a subsequent term GPA below 2.0 are placed on Academic Suspension.

Good to know
Oregon State uses a standard 4.0 plus/minus scale (no A+) on the quarter system, defined in its Academic Regulations 17-19. Its repeat rule is clean: only the second attempt of a repeated course counts toward the GPA. Incompletes are filed with an 'alternate grade' that automatically becomes the grade of record if the work isn't finished within a year.
