Florida International University (FIU) GPA Calculator

FIU calculates GPA for all students using grades earned at FIU only; transfer course grades are never included in any GPA calculation. There are two types of GPA: semester GPA (courses taken that term) and cumulative GPA (a summary of all FIU courses taken in a student's career). When a student's career changes (for example, undergraduate to graduate), the GPA calculation begins anew. Do not average semester GPAs to get the cumulative GPA — recompute from all courses. All GPAs are rounded to two decimal points.

Grades such as P (Satisfactory), IN (Incomplete), W/WA/WI (withdrawals), AU (Audit), DR (Dropped), NC (No Credit), and NG carry no point value and are excluded from the GPA calculation entirely — their credits are not included in the divisor.

Undergraduate students may use grade forgiveness up to three times to improve their GPA, applying only to courses in which they earned a grade lower than a C (2.00). Only the grade from the final repeat is used in computing the GPA; the repeated course must match the original attempt's grading option and credit hours, and both attempts must have been completed at FIU. This recalculation is an internal FIU process only and might not be honored by other institutions or services.

Undergraduate: a cumulative GPA below 2.0 triggers academic warning. If the cumulative GPA is still below 2.0 the next semester, the student moves to probation; a student on probation who posts a term GPA of 2.0 or higher stays on probation rather than being dismissed. Automatic dismissal occurs when both cumulative and semester GPA fall below 2.0 while on probation. Undergraduates cannot be dismissed before attempting a minimum of 20 semester hours. Dismissal lasts at least one year, and students have ten working days to appeal.

Graduate: students must maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.0 to remain in good standing. Falling below 3.0 triggers warning, a further semester below 3.0 triggers probation, and cumulative and semester GPA below 3.0 for a third term results in automatic dismissal. Appeals follow the same ten-working-day window.

To earn a bachelor's degree, students must reach a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher for coursework completed at FIU — or a higher minimum where a specific program requires it. Graduate degrees carry no GPA-based honors.

Undergraduates who complete nine or more term credit hours with a term GPA of 3.500 or higher are placed on the semester Dean's List. Graduation honors (undergraduate only, requiring at least 40 semester hours earned at FIU) are: Cum Laude at 3.500–3.699, Magna Cum Laude at 3.700–3.899, and Summa Cum Laude at 3.900 or higher.
