- Does ASU use F or E for failing grades?
- Arizona State University uses E (not F) for a failing grade. E carries a grade point value of 0.0 and is counted in the GPA calculation. This is a notable difference from most US universities — the calculator reflects ASU's official grading scale.
- What is the minimum GPA for good academic standing at ASU?
- ASU requires a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0 to remain in good academic standing. Falling below 2.0 results in academic probation. Students who remain below 2.0 for two consecutive semesters may be disqualified from the university.
- What GPA is required for the ASU Dean's List?
- To qualify for the ASU Dean's List, you must earn a semester GPA of 3.5 or higher while completing at least 12 graded credit hours in that semester. Dean's List recognition appears on your transcript and official academic record.
- What GPA is needed for ASU graduation honours?
- ASU awards three levels of graduation honours based on cumulative GPA at the time of graduation: Cum Laude (3.5–3.69), Magna Cum Laude (3.7–3.89), and Summa Cum Laude (3.9–4.0). A minimum of 60 credit hours completed at ASU is required to be eligible.
- How does ASU calculate cumulative GPA?
- ASU cumulative GPA is the weighted average of all graded courses taken at ASU. Multiply each course's grade points by its credit hours to get quality points. Sum all quality points and divide by total attempted credit hours. Repeated courses: only the higher grade replaces the lower in the GPA calculation under ASU's grade forgiveness policy.
- Does ASU have a grade forgiveness policy for repeated courses?
- Yes. ASU's grade forgiveness policy allows undergraduate students to repeat a course and have only the higher grade count in the cumulative GPA calculation, up to a maximum of 3 courses (not to exceed 12 credit hours). The original grade remains on the transcript but is excluded from the GPA.
- Can I use this calculator for ASU online courses?
- Yes. ASU Online courses are graded on the same 4.0 scale and count toward your cumulative GPA in exactly the same way as on-campus courses. There is no distinction between online and in-person grades for GPA purposes at ASU.
