Fairleigh Dickinson University (FDU) GPA Calculator

Semester GPA (SGPA) and cumulative GPA (CGPA) are each calculated by dividing total grade points earned by total credits attempted in the relevant period. Transfer credits, Pass/No Credit courses, Audit, and ungraded labs are excluded from the GPA calculation. Every F grade counts toward GPA except where excluded by the university's repeated-course or change-of-major policies. An Incomplete (I) converts automatically to F if not resolved by the third week of the next full semester, and that F counts toward CGPR.

Undergraduate students maintain Good Academic Standing at a CGPA of at least 1.80 for students with 1–30 credit hours completed, or at least 2.00 for students with 31 or more credit hours completed. Falling below the applicable threshold results in an Academic Performance Warning, escalating to Continued Academic Performance Warning after up to two consecutive primary semesters, then Academic Suspension if standing is not restored. A student readmitted after suspension who cannot maintain good standing faces Academic Dismissal, after which readmission is not possible. Some programs (e.g. Nursing, QUEST) set higher GPA requirements than this university-wide floor.

Undergraduate degree completion requires a minimum cumulative GPA (CGPA) of 2.00, alongside program-specific credit requirements. Some programs require a higher graduating GPA than this university-wide floor.

Effective for the 2026–2027 academic year, FDU recognizes three semester honor levels for full-time undergraduates completing a minimum of 12 credits: President's List (GPA 3.90), Dean's List (GPA 3.50), and Honors List (GPA 3.20); part-time students may qualify carrying 6 or more credits per semester sustained over 12 consecutive credits.

Graduation (Latin) honors are based on cumulative GPA: 3.85 summa cum laude, 3.67 magna cum laude, 3.33 cum laude, computed on weighted grades from a minimum of 54 FDU credits.
