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.)
Latin honors at graduation
| Honor | Requirement |
|---|---|
| cum laude | 3.75-3.84 |
| magna cum laude | 3.85-3.94 |
| summa cum laude | 3.95 or higher |
Dean’s List
University of Oregon names students to its Dean’s List at a term GPA of 3.75 term GPA with at least 12 credits taken for a letter grade during the term.
Academic probation and dismissal
Academic warning / academic probation / academic disqualification: cumulative GPA below 2.00 (with 44-or-fewer-credit students allowed two probation terms, more-than-44-credit students allowed one), or two consecutive terms of academic warning (term GPA 0.00-1.99).
Dismissal: a student on probation for cumulative GPA below 2.00 who earns a UO term GPA below 2.00 in the next term is disqualified; a student on probation after two consecutive warnings who earns below 2.00 for a fourth consecutive term is disqualified.
The minimum cumulative GPA depends on how far through the degree a student is:
| Class level | Cumulative GPA |
|---|---|
| 44 or fewer earned credits | allowed two terms of probation |
| more than 44 earned credits | allowed only one term of probation |

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.
