How Purdue University Fort Wayne calculates GPA
Purdue University Fort Wayne 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 Purdue Fort Wayne grade scale — what makes it specific
A+ rule: On the Purdue Fort Wayne scale, A+ is awarded but capped at 4.0, and the scale runs down to D- at 0.7.
Failing grade: Purdue University Fort Wayne uses "F" for a failing grade (0.0).
Repeated courses & grade replacement

Good to know
PFW awards no Latin honors: it graduates students "with distinction" (3.80-3.94) and "with highest distinction" (3.95-4.00), and calls its standing levels academic notice and academic separation rather than probation and dismissal.
Every figure here was read from Purdue Fort Wayne’s own registrar or catalog. Where a rule is set by an individual college rather than the institution, the page says so instead of presenting one college’s number as everyone’s.
