How Saginaw Valley State University calculates GPA
Saginaw Valley State University 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 Saginaw Valley State grade scale — what makes it specific
A+ rule: On the Saginaw Valley State scale, there is no A+ — A = 4.0 is the top grade, and there are no plus or minus grades at all.
Failing grade: Saginaw Valley State University uses "F" for a failing grade (0.0).
Repeated courses & grade replacement
All attempts remain on the transcript, but only the better grade is counted in the GPA.
Academic standing
cumulative GPA below the minimum for graded credits completed (see table)
Latin honors at graduation
| Honor | Requirement |
|---|---|
| cum laude | 3.40 |
| magna cum laude | 3.60 |
| summa cum laude | 3.80 |
Dean’s List
Saginaw Valley State University names students to its Dean’s List at a term GPA of 3.40 with at least 12 credits of 100-level or above course work graded on the A-F grade scale.
Academic probation and dismissal
Academic concern: cumulative GPA below the minimum for graded credits completed (see table).
Dismissal: While on academic concern, failure to attain a 2.00 cumulative grade point average leads to academic suspension.
The minimum cumulative GPA depends on how far through the degree a student is:
| Class level | Cumulative GPA |
|---|---|
| 0-11 credits | 1.00 |
| 12-24 credits | 1.70 |
| 25-36 credits | 1.90 |
| 37+ credits | 2.00 |

Good to know
SVSU has no C- and no D+/D- grades, and calls its probation status "academic concern" with a sliding cumulative-GPA table by credits completed.
Every figure here was read from Saginaw Valley State’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.
