How Youngstown State University calculates GPA
Youngstown 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 Youngstown State grade scale — what makes it specific
A+ rule: On the Youngstown 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: Youngstown State University uses "F" for a failing grade (0.0).
Repeated courses & grade replacement
Grade replacement: only the highest grade (and its credit hours) from all attempts of a repeated course counts toward GPA; a course may generally be repeated twice.
