Indiana University Bloomington (IU) GPA Calculator

Not every grade on an IU Bloomington transcript carries GPA value. The following grades are excluded from GPA computation: I (incomplete, until replaced by a final grade), W (withdrawn, undergraduates only), S (satisfactory, ungraded pass), P (pass — the policy states the P grade "does not have GPA value and cannot be changed back to an A through D grade"), NC (non-credit/audit), R (deferred, pending a multi-term course or thesis), NR (no report) and NY (enrollment in a special program pending a grade).

Repeating a course: undergraduates may replace up to three courses, or courses totaling no more than 10 credit hours, only for courses attempted in Fall 2001 or later. The retake must be the same course. Only the grade earned on the retake counts toward GPA — the original grade is struck from the average and shown as "X" on the transcript rather than being averaged in. The option cannot be used to reverse a grade assigned for academic misconduct, and a student cannot request reversal after already applying a grade-replacement exclusion.

To graduate with academic distinction, a student must rank within the highest 10% of the graduating class of their degree-granting unit. There are three levels: distinction, high distinction, and highest distinction — each degree-granting unit sets its own GPA or class-rank threshold for each level. Baccalaureate candidates must have completed a minimum of 60 credit hours at Indiana University; associate-degree candidates must have completed at least half of their required hours at Indiana University, to be eligible.
