Indiana University Bloomington GPA Calculator

How grades convert to points here

Indiana University Bloomington 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.

Latin honors at Indiana University Bloomington

Latin honors at Indiana University Bloomington are determined by department rather than centrally, so the requirement depends on your major. Some departments set a GPA threshold, others require a thesis, comprehensive examination, or faculty recommendation — GPA alone may not be sufficient or even the primary criterion.

Check with your department directly rather than relying on a university-wide number. The variation between departments at schools using this model is wide enough that a GPA earning honors in one major may not in another.

Standing, honors lists, and retakes

Good academic standing at Indiana University Bloomington requires a cumulative GPA of at least 2.0. Falling below it typically triggers academic warning, then probation, with dismissal only after sustained shortfall — the escalation gives time to recover.

Indiana University Bloomington sets Dean's List at 3.70 for the term. Most schools also require a minimum credit load of letter-graded courses, so a light semester or a heavy pass/fail load can disqualify an otherwise-strong GPA.

On repeated courses: Repeated courses with an F grade are counted in the GPA calculation but do not count toward earned-hours requirements; whether a repeat replaces the original grade in a student's specific program GPA depends on that program's own policy.

Worth knowing about Indiana University Bloomington

IU does not use fixed Latin-honors GPA cutoffs; instead it awards degrees 'with distinction,' 'high distinction,' or 'highest distinction,' with the minimum qualifying GPA for each tier redetermined every academic year.
