How the OSU GPA is Calculated

The grade-point average (GPA) is the quotient of total grade points divided by total credits; total credits are the number of term credits in which grades A, B, C, D, and F are received (AR 19).

Marks of I, W, P, N, R, S, U, and AUD are disregarded in the computation of points. Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory (S/U) and Pass/No Credit (P/N) are alternative grading options for eligible courses; grades of S, U, P, and N have no grade-point equivalents and are never included in the GPA (AR 18).

If a student repeats an OSU course, the grade from each attempt appears on the academic record, but only the second attempt counts toward institutional credits, requirements, and the grade-point average (AR 20).

  • Academic Suspension: a subsequent term GPA below 2.0 while already on Academic Probation.
  • Reinstatement: suspended students may be considered after two years, or after completing a minimum of 24 quarter credits of transferable college-level work at a regionally accredited institution with a GPA of 2.5 or above.

GPA Requirement for Graduation

Institutional requirements for a baccalaureate degree include a minimum 2.00 OSU cumulative grade-point average (AR 25). The same minimum 2.00 OSU cumulative GPA applies to a postbaccalaureate degree (AR 26) and to a postbaccalaureate certificate, which additionally requires a minimum 2.0 GPA within the credits applied to the certificate (AR 27).

How do I convert semester GPA to cumulative GPA at OSU?
Your cumulative GPA is the credit-weighted average of your semester GPAs across every semester: (semester GPA₁ × credits₁ + … + semester GPAₙ × creditsₙ) ÷ (credits₁ + … + creditsₙ). Save each semester to the tracker on this page, by course or as a quick semester GPA + credits entry, and it works out your cumulative GPA on every save, edit and delete.
Is this OSU GPA calculator free, and is my data private?
