How State University of New York at Cortland calculates GPA
State University of New York at Cortland 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 SUNY Cortland grade scale — what makes it specific
A+ rule: On the SUNY Cortland scale, there is no A+ — A = 4.0 is the top grade, and the scale runs down to D- at 0.7, and the failing grade is written <strong>E</strong>, not F.
Failing grade: State University of New York at Cortland uses "E" for a failing grade (0.0).
Repeated courses & grade replacement
Retake replaces: all grades stay on the transcript but only the highest grade counts in the GPA and toward degree hours. The excluded attempt is annotated E, the counted one I. The retake must be the same course taken at Cortland under the same grading system; a course may be retaken once (departments may allow more).

Every figure here was read from SUNY Cortland’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.
