Towson University (TU) GPA Calculator

Towson University uses the Plus/Minus Grading System (4.00 scale, term system), implemented in fall 1998. It applies to all undergraduate students and cannot be applied retroactively to grades earned or recorded, including incomplete (I) grades or contested grades, before fall 1998.

Effective Minimester 2006, Towson University suspended use of the C- grade.

The Grade Point Average (GPA) is computed by multiplying the units for each course by the grade points assigned to the grade earned, totaling the units and grade points for the term, then dividing the total grade points by the total units.

Grades of S, U, W, PE, and I are not calculated in a student's GPA. The grade of PS (Pass) carries no GPA value when earned at C or higher; if a student under the Pass option earns D+ or below, that letter grade is recorded and used in the GPA calculation instead. The grade of FX is calculated in a student's GPA (value 0.00) and is given to students who stop attending without officially withdrawing. An Incomplete (I) automatically lapses to F 120 days after the end of the term unless changed to another grade.

Students may request an Unsuccessful Term (academic clemency) if: three years have elapsed since the term in question and graduation has not occurred; the student has completed at least 24 units of 2.00-level work at TU since that term; and only one Unsuccessful Term has been granted in the student's academic career. Grades tied to an academic integrity violation are not adjusted. A resulting Below Good Standing notation may be removed from the record, though other academic standing notations remain. Requests are submitted to the Academic Standards Committee, up until the end of the term following graduation.
