How South Dakota State University calculates GPA
South Dakota 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 South Dakota State grade scale — what makes it specific
A+ rule: On the South Dakota 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: South Dakota State University uses "F" for a failing grade (0.0).
Repeated courses & grade replacement
