How grades convert to points here

Plus and minus grades count at University of Notre Dame, with one exception: A+ carries the same 4.00 as an A. The downside modifiers apply in full while the upside one does not, so a perfect 4.00 requires straight A grades with no A- anywhere.

When a student elects Pass/Fail grading, grades of A through D are recorded as 'pass' and not computed into the GPA

Latin honors at University of Notre Dame

University of Notre Dame awards Latin honors by class rank rather than a fixed GPA. Top 5% summa cum laude, top 15% magna cum laude, top 30% cum laude within each college/school, recalculated each February

A percentile system means the threshold is only known after the class graduates. Published historical cutoffs are the best available guide, but treat them as approximate — grade inflation pushes them up over time, and a strong cohort pushes them up faster.

Standing, honors lists, and retakes

Good academic standing at University of Notre Dame 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.

Historical cutoffs are the best guide available in advance, but treat them as approximate.

A cumulative 2.0. Dropping below it usually starts with a warning rather than immediate probation, and schools generally allow at least one term to recover before more serious consequences apply.
If I retake a course at University of Notre Dame, does the old grade still count?▾
unknown
Will this match what my registrar shows?▾
