How Valdosta State University calculates GPA
Valdosta 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 Valdosta State grade scale — what makes it specific
A+ rule: On the Valdosta State scale, there is no A+ — A = 4.0 is the top grade, and there are no plus or minus grades at all.
Failing grade: Valdosta State University uses "F" for a failing grade (0.0).
Repeated courses & grade replacement
Highest grade counts: when a VSU course is repeated at VSU, only the highest grade earned is used in the institutional (VSU) GPA; all attempts remain on the transcript.
Academic standing
Cumulative GPA below the minimum for hours attempted (see by_credits table)
Latin honors at graduation
| Honor | Requirement |
|---|---|
| cum laude | 3.50 |
| magna cum laude | 3.70 |
| summa cum laude | 3.90 |
Dean’s List
Valdosta State University names students to its Dean’s List at a term GPA of 3.50 with 9 semester hours (and an institutional VSU GPA of 3.00 or higher).
University-wide
Academic probation and dismissal
Academic probation: Cumulative GPA below the minimum for hours attempted (see by_credits table).
Dismissal: Academic suspension when, while on probation, the cumulative GPA is still below the table minimum and the term GPA is below 2.00; a third suspension is dismissal for a minimum of three years.
The minimum cumulative GPA depends on how far through the degree a student is:
| Class level | Cumulative GPA |
|---|---|
| 1-29 credits | 1.60 |
| 30-59 credits | 1.75 |
| 60-89 credits | 1.90 |
| 90-graduation | 2.00 |

Good to know
Latin honors are computed on all academic work attempted anywhere, including transfer credit, so a student must reach the cutoff on both the overall GPA and the VSU GPA.
Every figure here was read from Valdosta 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.
