University of Minnesota A-F Grading Scale

|---|---|---|---|
| A | 4.000 | Outstanding achievement exceeding course requirements | Counts in GPA |
| A- | 3.667 | Excellent / close to outstanding performance | Counts in GPA |
| B+ | 3.333 | Very good achievement | Counts in GPA |
| B | 3.000 | Achievement significantly above minimum expectations | Counts in GPA |
| B- | 2.667 | Good, slightly above average work | Counts in GPA |
| C+ | 2.333 | Satisfactory performance | Counts in GPA |
| C | 2.000 | Meets course requirements in every respect | Counts in GPA |
| C- | 1.667 | Below average performance | Counts in GPA |
| D+ | 1.333 | Marginally passing work | Counts in GPA |
| D | 1.000 | Worthy of credit, though below full expectations | Counts in GPA |
| F | 0.000 | Failure or incomplete work unworthy of credit | Counts as 0.000 |
UMN GPA Note: UMN does not give GPA credit for A+. Use A as the highest GPA grade with 4.000 points.
UMN GPA Formula
GPA = Σ (Grade Points × Credits) ÷ Total GPA Credits
S/N, Incomplete, Withdrawal, and Audit Symbols
S means Satisfactory and is awarded for S/N grading when performance is equivalent to C- or better. N means No Credit and gives no earned credit. I means Incomplete and is a temporary symbol used for extraordinary documented circumstances. W means Withdrawal. V means Visitor or Audit. These symbols do not positively or negatively affect cumulative GPA.
"For accurate UMN GPA calculation, only enter A-F letter grades with GPA points. S, N, I, W, and V should be excluded from GPA hours."
Important UMN GPA Policies
Undergraduate students at the University of Minnesota cannot take more than 25% of total credits on the S/N basis. Major-specific courses usually require A-F grading unless the academic department states otherwise.
If you repeat a course, both attempts remain visible on your transcript, but only the latest grade is used in cumulative GPA calculation, even if the second grade is lower.
Final grades are typically submitted and visible in the MyU Portal Academics tab within 4 business days after the term ends.
