How University of Puerto Rico at Mayaguez calculates GPA
University of Puerto Rico at Mayaguez 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 UPR Mayaguez grade scale — what makes it specific
A+ rule: On the UPR Mayaguez scale, there is no A+ — A = 4.0 is the top grade, and there are no plus or minus grades at all.
Failing grade: University of Puerto Rico at Mayaguez uses "F" for a failing grade (0.0).
Repeated courses & grade replacement
Not clearly stated on uprm.edu whether a retake replaces or averages into the GPA; the only sourced rule is that repeating a course already passed with a 'C' requires the Dean's exception approval.

Good to know
UPRM's academic-probation status ('Probatoria Académica') is defined by the same year-by-year retention-index table used for federal financial-aid Satisfactory Academic Progress, rather than a separate GPA-only probation policy.
Every figure here was read from UPR Mayaguez’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.
