How Auburn Calculates GPA

Auburn University (Auburn) uses a 4.0 grade point scale and does not use plus/minus modifiers, A, B, C, D, F only. The school caps A+ at the same 4.0 value as an A, which matters when converting letter grades from a transcript that records A and A+ separately. Each course's grade points multiply by its credit hours, those quality points sum across all courses, and the total divides by total credits attempted.

Auburn GPA Formula

GPA = Sum(Grade Points x Credit Hours) / Sum(Credit Hours)

Where:

Grade Points = letter-grade value on the 4.0 scale
Credit Hours = credit value of the course on the Auburn transcript
A+ = 4.0 (same as A on the standard scale)

Example: A 4-credit class with an A (4.0 points) and a 3-credit class with a B+ (3.3 points): quality points = 4 × 4.0 + 3 × 3.3 = 25.9, total credits = 7, GPA = 25.9 / 7 = 3.70.

Auburn Grading Policy Notes

Auburn uses an unusually high suspension threshold of 2.2 cumulative GPA (most schools use 2.0). The Grade Adjustment Policy allows three course retakes (9 credits) with grade replacement. Harbert College of Business and Samuel Ginn College of Engineering each set distinct major-entry GPA thresholds.
