How University of Wisconsin-Platteville calculates GPA
University of Wisconsin-Platteville 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 UW Platteville grade scale — what makes it specific
A+ rule: On the UW Platteville scale, there is no A+ — A = 4.0 is the top grade, and there is no D-.
Failing grade: University of Wisconsin-Platteville uses "F" for a failing grade (0.0).
Repeated courses & grade replacement
The second attempt replaces the first grade in the GPA regardless of whether it is higher or lower; grades from a third or later attempt do not replace prior grades and all are included in the GPA.

Academic probation and dismissal
Academic probation: Cumulative GPA less than 2.00.
Dismissal: Any semester with a term GPA less than 1.00, or failure to meet the final-probation continuation standard.
The minimum cumulative GPA depends on how far through the degree a student is:
| Class level | Cumulative GPA |
|---|---|
| part-time, 6 credits or fewer | semester GPA below 1.00 gives probation rather than dismissal if previously in good standing |
