How Saint Cloud State University calculates GPA
Saint Cloud 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 St. Cloud State grade scale — what makes it specific
A+ rule: On the St. Cloud State scale, A+ is awarded but capped at 4.0, and the scale runs down to D- at 0.67.
Failing grade: Saint Cloud State University uses "F" for a failing grade (0.0).
Repeated courses & grade replacement
Courses may be repeated and nothing is removed from the transcript; the highest of the original and repeat grade counts toward the GPA, while every attempt counts against the credit-completion percentage.

Good to know
The Dean's List needs only nine graded credits but a high 3.75 GPA, and A+ is recorded on the transcript yet capped at 4.00.
Every figure here was read from St. Cloud 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.
