Austin Peay State University (APSU) GPA Calculator

Austin Peay State University (APSU) uses a 4.00-point letter-grade scale: A (4.00) Excellent, B (3.00) Good, C (2.00) Average, D (1.00) Below Average, F (0.00) Failure.

Two additional failure variants also count toward your GPA at 0.00: FA (Failure, stopped attending class) and FN (Failure, never attended class).

There is no A+, and no plus/minus modifiers anywhere on the scale. Grades of AU (Audit), P/XF (Pass-Fail courses), I (Incomplete), IP (In Progress), W (Withdrew), and NR (Not Recorded) carry no grade points and are not calculated in your GPA.

Your GPA is quality points earned divided by quality hours attempted — each grade's point value multiplied by the course's credit hours, summed, then divided by total credit hours attempted. Pass-Fail, Incomplete, In Progress, and NR grades are excluded from quality hours attempted.

If you repeat a course, only the last grade received counts toward your GPA — except that if a course is attempted a third time or more (including transfer attempts), every subsequent grade counts, not just the last.

Coursework transferred to APSU (for enrollment from Summer 2015 onward) is not included in your overall, major, or minor GPA calculation, though it still counts toward graduation honor status such as Cum Laude.

You're in good standing if your cumulative GPA meets the minimum for your quality hours attempted: 1.5 (0–29 hours), 1.8 (30–45), 1.9 (46–59), or 2.0 (60 or more).

Falling below those minimums places you on academic probation, with credit loads capped at 16 hours per semester. You're suspended from probation if you fail to earn a 2.00 GPA that semester and don't raise your cumulative GPA above the same probation thresholds.

To graduate, you need a minimum 2.00 GPA overall, a minimum 2.00 APSU GPA, and a minimum 2.00 GPA in both your major and minor (if applicable). Some programs require a higher GPA for retention. Coursework transferred to APSU is not included in these GPA calculations.

Based on your inclusive overall GPA (University-level courses only), you graduate Summa Cum Laude at 3.90–4.00, Magna Cum Laude at 3.70–3.89, or Cum Laude at 3.50–3.69.
