How grades convert to points here

Auburn University applies the standard plus/minus scale — 3.7 for A-, 3.3 for B+, 2.7 for B-. Small differences per course, but across 32 or 40 courses they are what separates a 3.5 from a 3.9.

S/U grades and non-credit courses are excluded from GPA and honors calculations.

Latin honors at Auburn University

Auburn University awards Latin honors against fixed GPA cutoffs: 3.395 for cum laude, 3.595 for magna cum laude, and 3.795 for summa cum laude.

Fixed cutoffs are the friendlier system to plan against. You know the target from your first semester, and clearing it does not depend on how strong your classmates turn out to be — unlike a percentile system, where the threshold moves every year.

Standing, honors lists, and retakes

On repeated courses: Both attempts' grades and hours are normally averaged into the GPA; a student may repeat a D/F course once without permission, and if the Grade Adjustment Policy is invoked the first attempt is excluded from the term/cumulative GPA (but not from honors calculations).

Worth knowing about Auburn University

Graduation Latin honors are always computed on the unadjusted GPA — even grades a student had forgiven under the Grade Adjustment Policy still count toward honors eligibility.

Grading policy compiled from Auburn University's registrar and academic catalog. Policies change; the registrar is authoritative. See our methodology.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Auburn University use plus/minus grading?▾
Yes. A- counts as 3.7, B+ as 3.3, and so on — each modifier shifts the value by 0.3 points.
What GPA do you need for cum laude at Auburn University?▾
3.40 for cum laude, 3.60 for magna cum laude, and 3.79 for summa cum laude. These are fixed institutional thresholds rather than class percentiles, so they do not shift with your cohort. Most schools also require a minimum number of credits completed in residence — verify that separately with the registrar.
If I retake a course at Auburn University, does the old grade still count?▾
Both attempts' grades and hours are normally averaged into the GPA; a student may repeat a D/F course once without permission, and if the Grade Adjustment Policy is invoked the first attempt is excluded from the term/cumulative GPA (but not from honors calculations).
Will this match what my registrar shows?▾
It should track your official GPA for standard coursework at Auburn University. Discrepancies usually come from transfer credit, pass/fail courses, or a repeat policy applied to an earlier attempt — all of which the registrar handles and a calculator cannot see.
