How the GPA is calculated

MTSU's grade point average is calculated by dividing the total number of quality points earned by the total number of GPA hours attempted. Plus/minus grading applies to all undergraduate coursework (since Fall 2000) and all graduate coursework (since Fall 1997).

Several marks are not counted toward the GPA: I (Incomplete), W (Withdrawal), WD (Withdrawal, developmental courses), WP (Withdrawal Passing), NC (audit), NR (grade not recorded), and X (grade not submitted). P, S, and U are non-punitive marks with no quality-point value. WF (Withdrawal Failing) is added into GPA hours to compute the grade point average.

Undergraduate academic probation and suspension

Beginning with the Spring 1994 term, an undergraduate student failing to meet one of the following standards during any term is placed on academic probation for the subsequent term:

  • Attain a 2.00 GPA for the current term, or
  • Meet one of the following retention standards: 00–29.99 GPA hours require a 1.5 overall combined GPA; 30–49.99 GPA hours require a 1.8 overall combined GPA; 50 or more GPA hours require a 2.0 overall combined GPA.

A student on academic probation who fails to meet one of these standards during the next term of enrollment is suspended.

Transfer credit grades

Beginning summer 2015, new transfer credits (regardless of the term completed) are posted with a leading "T" on the grade, and those grades are not calculated in the overall or overall combined GPA.
