Mississippi State University (MSU) GPA Calculator

Beyond the standard letter grades, Mississippi State transcripts also record marks that carry no quality points and are not used to compute the GPA: S (Satisfactory), U (Unsatisfactory), W (Withdrawn Without Penalty), WI (Permanent Incomplete), *S (Retake), *R (Repeat), AU (Audit), GDP (Grade Determination Pending), and I (Incomplete).

A student may not earn credit or quality points a second time for a course, or its equivalent, in which they have already earned a grade of A.

An undergraduate "I" (Incomplete) not resolved into a passing grade within 30 calendar days of the student's next enrollment automatically becomes an F.

A student whose cumulative MSU GPA falls below 2.00 at the end of any term enters the next term on academic probation, with course load restricted to 16 credit hours.

Suspension applies to a student with a semester GPA below 2.0 who also falls below the required cumulative MSU GPA for their completed hours: 1.6 for 19-36 hours, 1.8 for 37-66 hours, and 2.0 for 67+ hours; students with 0-18 hours are not subject to suspension.

Undergraduates may request Academic Forgiveness for up to 9 semester hours of D or F grades earned at Mississippi State after fall 2003, toward their first baccalaureate degree.

Students must earn at least a 2.0 GPA on both their MSU cumulative GPA and their overall cumulative GPA (including transfer coursework) to earn a degree.

Graduation honors are based on cumulative GPA: Cum Laude requires at least 3.40, Magna Cum Laude at least 3.60, and Summa Cum Laude at least 3.80.
