Butler University GPA Calculator

Butler is on a 4.0 grading system. Letter grades run from A down to F, with plus/minus modifiers available on A, B, C, and D — there is no A+, and F carries no plus or minus variant. A is worth 4.00 grade points; F is worth 0.00.

Your GPA is figured by dividing the total number of hours attempted into the total number of grade points earned.

Not counted toward your GPA: W (Withdrawal), P (Passing/pass-fail), PV (Pass with validation), AUD (Audited course), NC (Non-credit enrollment), NR (Grade not reported), I (Incomplete), X (Unredeemed incomplete), T (Transfer credit), and Z (undergraduate course taken by a graduate student).

If you repeat a course, only the second attempt counts toward your GPA; this applies to both undergraduate and graduate students. Under the pass/fail option, you may elect up to four courses from your total undergraduate degree for pass/fail credit — a passing grade (D- or above) does not count in your GPA, but a failing grade is recorded as an F and does.

When your cumulative GPA falls below a 2.0, you're placed on academic probation. Excessive probation, or continued probation without improvement, can lead to a student being declared academically ineligible.

Candidates for undergraduate degrees must have at least a 2.0 GPA; candidates for graduate degrees need at least a 3.0 GPA. At least 45 semester hours of undergraduate work must be completed at Butler, at least 30 of those in the college granting the degree, and at least 40 hours of the total curriculum must be courses numbered 300 or above.

Undergraduates are normally expected to complete their final 30 hours of academic work at Butler; a Dean may allow up to 30 hours of exception for a student with a cumulative GPA of at least 2.0.

Any degree-seeking undergraduate earning at least 12 academic hours of graded credit in a semester may be placed on the Dean's List of their college of enrollment if their semester GPA falls in the top 20 percent of eligible students in that college. Courses taken under the pass/fail option don't count toward the 12-hour minimum. The Dean's List is calculated three weeks after the end of the semester.
