GPA Calculation & Rules

Christopher Newport University calculates a single cumulative GPA from CNU coursework only: total grade points earned divided by total credit hours attempted at CNU. Transfer credit from other institutions is not included in this calculation, though it does count toward credit hours earned for the degree.

Students with at least junior standing and a cumulative GPA of 2.00 or higher may take up to 12 credit hours (maximum 6 per term) under the pass/fail option, excluding liberal learning, major, minor, and graduate-level courses. A grade of P (earned with a D- or higher) is not computed in the cumulative GPA, but a grade of F earned in a pass/fail course is still computed into it.

A grade of Incomplete (I) is temporary and converts automatically to F if the required work is not completed and a grade-change form submitted by the published deadline.

For most repeated courses, only the grade, credit, and grade points from the most recent enrollment count toward the cumulative GPA and graduation requirements; courses retaken after graduation do not replace the original grade, and both attempts remain on the record.

Transfer Credit and GPA

Transfer credit accepted by Christopher Newport University counts toward the credit hours required for a degree, but is not included in the calculation of a student's cumulative GPA at CNU — only coursework taken at CNU factors into grade points and credit hours attempted.

Frequently asked questions

CNU uses a letter-grade grading system on a 0.0–4.0 scale with 13 grade levels: A = 4.00, A- = 3.70, B+ = 3.30, B = 3.00, B- = 2.70, C+ = 2.30, C = 2.00, C- = 1.70, D+ = 1.30, D = 1.00, D- = 0.70, F = 0.00, UI = 0.00.
Where does this CNU grade scale come from?
From CNU's official grading policy, published at cnu.edu. The grade table on this page is the one the policy sets out, verified Sep 2026.
Does transfer credit count toward my GPA at CNU?

No. Transfer credit reduces the number of credits you still need for your degree, but it is never included in your CNU cumulative GPA — only courses taken at CNU count toward grade points and credit hours attempted.

Does a Pass/Fail grade affect my GPA at CNU?

A grade of P is not computed in your cumulative GPA. However, if you fail a course taken pass/fail, the F is still computed into your cumulative GPA.

What happens to my GPA if I retake a course at CNU?

For most repeated courses, only your most recent attempt's grade, credit, and grade points count toward your cumulative GPA and graduation requirements — the earlier grade is superseded for GPA purposes, though both attempts remain on your record.

How do I convert semester GPA to cumulative GPA at CNU?
Your cumulative GPA is the credit-weighted average of your semester GPAs across every semester: (semester GPA₁ × credits₁ + … + semester GPAₙ × creditsₙ) ÷ (credits₁ + … + creditsₙ). Save each semester to the tracker on this page, by course or as a quick semester GPA + credits entry, and it works out your cumulative GPA on every save, edit and delete.
Is this CNU GPA calculator free, and is my data private?
Yes. GPAWise is free, with no signup, and your courses and saved semesters stay in your browser: nothing is sent to our servers. "Clear all tracker data" on the tracker wipes them at any time.
