How Princeton University calculates GPA
Princeton University (New Jersey) 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 Princeton grade scale — what makes it specific
A+ rule: Princeton uses a standard 4.0 plus/minus scale; A+ does not carry extra points beyond 4.0.
Failing grade: Princeton University uses "F" for a failing grade (0.0).
Repeated courses & grade replacement
Princeton has limited course-repeat provisions; confirm specifics with the registrar.
Academic standing
Princeton is known for a more conservative grading culture; the scale itself is a standard 4.0.
Good to know
Princeton uses a standard 4.0 plus/minus scale and does not give extra points for an A+ (the maximum is 4.0). Princeton has a reputation for tighter grading than some peers, but that's a culture point, not a scale difference — the grade-point values are standard.
