How University of Oregon calculates GPA

University of Oregon (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 grade scale — what makes it specific

A+ rule: Oregon's official table assigns + and - a flat +/-0.3 to A, B, C, D — and does NOT cap A+. So A+ = 4.3, A = 4.0, A- = 3.7, B+ = 3.3, down to D- = 0.7, F = 0. An Oregon GPA can exceed 4.0.

Failing grade: University of Oregon uses "F" for a failing grade (0.0).

Repeated courses & grade replacement

All graded attempts of a repeated course count in the GPA unless an official policy says otherwise. A first-term grade-forgiveness policy helps struggling first-term students.

Academic standing

Minimum 2.0 GPA. Quarter system. (D- is not awarded in graduate-level law courses.)

Good to know

Oregon's official grade chart applies a flat +0.3 / -0.3 to A, B, C, D with no cap on A+ — so an A+ is worth 4.3 and an Oregon GPA can rise above 4.0, unlike the many schools that cap A+ at 4.0. State the 4.3 scale when reporting to a school that assumes a 4.0 maximum.
