How grades convert to points here

Rice University Engineering uses plus/minus grading and awards 4.33 for an A+, which is unusual — most institutions cap the scale at 4.0 no matter how high the grade. It means a GPA above 4.0 is achievable here without any honors weighting, and that a transcript from Rice University Engineering is not directly comparable to one from a school that caps at 4.0.

Latin honors at Rice University Engineering

Rice University Engineering awards Latin honors by class rank rather than a fixed GPA. Same university-wide policy as Rice: approximately top 30% of the graduating class receive Latin Honors, calculated by school

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Rice University Engineering use plus/minus grading?
Yes, and unusually it awards 4.33 for an A+ rather than capping at 4.0. A GPA above 4.0 is achievable here on the standard scale.
What GPA do you need for honors at Rice University Engineering?
There is no fixed number. Same university-wide policy as Rice: approximately top 30% of the graduating class receive Latin Honors, calculated by school, so the qualifying GPA is determined after grades are final and moves from year to year. Historical cutoffs are the best guide available in advance, but treat them as approximate.
If I retake a course at Rice University Engineering, does the old grade still count?
unknown
Will this match what my registrar shows?
It should track your official GPA for standard coursework at Rice University Engineering. 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.
