Oklahoma State University (OSU) GPA Calculator

The grade-point average is calculated by dividing the total grade points earned by the total hours attempted. Grades of "I," "NP," "P," "S," "U," "W," "R," "SR," or "UR," and marks of "AU" or "N," do not affect the GPA. Developmental courses, physical education activity (leisure) courses, and certain repeated or reprieved/renewed courses are also excluded.

OSU calculates several separate GPAs: the Overall GPA (all OSU and transfer courses), the Total Institution GPA (OSU courses only), the Total Transfer GPA (transfer courses only), and the Current Term GPA (a single term).

Undergraduates must maintain a minimum overall GPA of 1.70 through 30 attempted hours, and 2.00 at 31 or more hours, to remain in good standing. Falling below this threshold places a student on probation for one semester; the student must then post a 2.00 current-term GPA or meet the minimum overall standard to continue. First-year students (30 or fewer hours) with an overall GPA between 1.70 and 2.00 are placed on academic notice rather than probation.

A student on probation is suspended if their current-term GPA falls below 2.00 while their overall GPA remains below the same 1.70/2.00 thresholds. A suspended student may not be readmitted until one regular semester has elapsed, and may be readmitted only once.

An overall GPA of 2.00 or higher is required for graduation, in addition to a 2.00 or higher GPA in the major or minor fields. No degree program may require fewer than 120 semester credit hours, with at least 40 hours of upper-division coursework and at least 30 hours in the major field (15 of which must be upper-division). Students must earn at least 30 semester credit hours in residence at OSU, including 15 of the final 30 hours or 50% of the upper-division major hours.

Full-time undergraduates completing at least 12 earned OSU hours in a fall or spring term with a 4.00 current-term GPA are placed on the President's List of Distinguished Students; a term GPA of 3.50 or higher with no grade below "C" earns a place on the Dean's List of Distinguished Students.

Graduation distinction is based on the final overall GPA: 3.90-4.00 earns Summa Cum Laude, 3.80-3.89 Magna Cum Laude, and 3.70-3.79 Cum Laude. The GPA used for this determination is truncated to two decimal places.

Credit transferred from other accredited four-year institutions applies toward a degree the same way it would if earned at OSU, but transfer credit may not satisfy more than half of a department's major course requirements without approval. Community college credit is accepted only toward lower-division (1000- and 2000-level) requirements, and at least 60 semester credit hours must be earned at a senior college. Credit from international institutions is accepted based on U.S. letter-grade equivalents for the grading method used in that country of study.
