How University of West Florida calculates GPA
University of West Florida 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 West Florida grade scale — what makes it specific
A+ rule: On the West Florida scale, there is no A+ — A = 4.0 is the top grade, and there is no D-.
Failing grade: University of West Florida uses "F" for a failing grade (0.0).
Repeated courses & grade replacement
Grade Forgiveness: allowed up to three times in an undergraduate career, only for courses where the original grade was below C; the highest grade counts for credit and GPA.
Academic standing
By cumulative GPA hours: 0-15 hours below 1.60, 16-30 hours below 1.80, 30+ hours below 2.00 cumulative UWF GPA.
Latin honors at graduation
| Honor | Requirement |
|---|---|
| cum laude | 3.50 |
| magna cum laude | 3.70 |
| summa cum laude | 3.90 |
Dean’s List
University of West Florida names students to its Dean’s List at a term GPA of 3.50-3.89 with 6 semester hours of graded A-F coursework.
Academic probation and dismissal
Academic probation: By cumulative GPA hours: 0-15 hours below 1.60, 16-30 hours below 1.80, 30+ hours below 2.00 cumulative UWF GPA..
Dismissal: Suspension when a student on probation fails to earn a 2.30 UWF semester GPA; dismissal after being suspended a third time..

|---|---|
| 0-15 credits | below 1.60 |
| 16-30 credits | below 1.80 |

Good to know
UWF's academic-probation GPA floor rises in three steps by cumulative hours attempted (1.60, then 1.80, then 2.00) rather than a single flat threshold.
Every figure here was read from West Florida’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.
