The ASU grade-point table
Grade-point values are per credit hour. GPA = Σ(grade points × credits) ÷ Σ(graded credits), excluding the non-GPA symbols below.
| Letter | Grade points | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| A+ | 4.33 | Exists; highest per-course value |
| A | 4.00 | Excellent |
| A− | 3.67 | |
| B+ | 3.33 | |
| B | 3.00 | Good |
| B− | 2.67 | |
| C+ | 2.33 | |
| C | 2.00 | Average / Passing |
| D | 1.00 | Passing / No Graduate Credit |
| E | 0.00 | Failure (ASU uses E, not F) |
I, NR, P, W, X, Y, Z carry no grade-point value. EN, EU, XE count as 0.00, like E.
Repeated courses
ASU: a D or E (including EN, EU, XE) may be repeated once at ASU, and the original D/E is deleted from the GPA. Courses with C or higher generally may not be repeated for credit.
Worked example
Worked example. A+ (3 credits) + B− (3 credits) = (4.33 × 3) + (2.67 × 3) = 12.99 + 8.01 = 21.00 quality points ÷ 6 credits = 3.50 GPA. The calculator starts with exactly these two courses.
Cap example. Three A+ courses at 3 credits each = (4.33 × 9) ÷ 9 = 4.33 raw → reported cumulative GPA capped at 4.00. The cap applies to the cumulative GPA: enter prior cumulative GPA and credits below to see it bind. A semester-only result is not capped.
Assumptions on this page
- All credits are GPA-bearing letter-graded credits. Excluded symbols (I, NR, P, W, X, Y, Z) are left out by the calculator; pick them in the grade dropdown and the row is not counted.
- No repeats in the main table. Repeated courses use the repeat widget below, which applies ASU’s deletion rule.
- Display rounding: ASU GPAs are rounded to the nearest 100th.
Common mistakes
- Using a generic plus/minus ladder. ASU has no C−, D+, or D−. A generic ladder is wrong for ASU.
- Writing 4.33 as the cumulative GPA. Per-course A+ is 4.33; the cumulative GPA is capped at 4.00.
- Assuming a 12-credit repeat cap. That figure is unverified and is not used on this page.
- Applying a percent scale. ASU publishes grade values, not percent bands. Percent cutoffs live at syllabus level.
- Deleting a C. ASU generally does not allow repeating a course with C or higher for credit.
