Grade Point Average Computation

A student's grade point average each semester and his/her cumulative grade point average are computed by multiplying the honor points awarded by the number of credits per course. The total number of honor points earned is then divided by the total number of credit hours attempted.

  1. Honor Points

    Honor points are awarded as follows:

    1. A+ = 4.33 honor points
    2. A = 4.0 honor points
    3. A– = 3.67 honor points
    4. B+ = 3.33 honor points
    5. B = 3.0 honor points
    6. B– = 2.67 honor points
    7. C+ = 2.33 honor points
    8. C = 2.0 honor points
    9. C– = 1.67 honor points
    10. D+ = 1.33 honor points
    11. D = 1.0 honor points
    12. D- = 0.67 honor points
    13. F = 0.0 honor point

  2. Transfer Students

    Transfer students enter MSU College of Law with a 0.00 GPA.

  3. Rounding of GPA

    GPA calculation for the purposes of academic policies, awards, scholarships, and/or program eligibility is strictly limited to two (2) decimal points. Example: A 2.495 GPA will move up to a 2.50, but a 2.494 GPA will remain at 2.49.
