How grades convert to points here

Purdue University recognizes plus/minus, but an A+ is worth 4.00 rather than 4.33. That asymmetry matters at the top of the scale — you can lose points for an A- but cannot gain them back with an A+.

unknown

Standing, honors lists, and retakes

Dean's List recognition requires a term GPA of 3.50 or above. It is calculated per term rather than cumulatively, so one strong semester earns it regardless of what came before — and one weak semester loses it regardless of a strong cumulative average.

On repeated courses: unknown

The part students usually miss

Dean's List requires clearing two separate GPA bars at once — a 3.5 cumulative GPA AND a 3.0 GPA in the current semester — not just one threshold

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Purdue University use plus/minus grading?▾
Yes, with one exception: A+ is worth 4.00, the same as an A. Minus grades reduce your average but an A+ cannot raise it above 4.00.
If I retake a course at Purdue University, does the old grade still count?▾
unknown
Can I rely on this number?▾
It applies Purdue University's published scale to the grades you enter, so for a standard letter-graded course load it should match. It will not account for transfer credit, courses excluded from the GPA by policy, or program-specific weighting. Your registrar's figure is the official one.
