How Southern Utah University calculates GPA
Southern Utah 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 Southern Utah grade scale — what makes it specific
A+ rule: On the Southern Utah scale, there is no A+ — A = 4.0 is the top grade, and the scale runs down to D- at 0.7.
Failing grade: Southern Utah University uses "F" for a failing grade (0.0).
Repeated courses & grade replacement
For non-repeatable courses, the highest grade earned counts toward the graduation GPA and other attempts are excluded (credits and grade). For repeatable courses, the last attempt must remain in the GPA; earlier attempts may be excluded at the student's request.
Academic standing
Warning when semester GPA is below 2.0 but cumulative GPA remains at or above 2.0; Probation when both semester and cumulative GPA fall below 2.0.
Latin honors at graduation
| Honor | Requirement |
|---|---|
| magna cum laude | 3.6-3.799 |
| summa cum laude | 3.8+ |
Dean’s List
Southern Utah University names students to its Dean’s List at a term GPA of 3.60 with 15 credit hours.

Good to know
SUU's Latin honors have only two tiers, Magna Cum Laude and Summa Cum Laude -- there is no separate 'Cum Laude' level, unusual next to schools with a three-tier system.
Every figure here was read from Southern Utah’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.
