How grades convert to points here

Swarthmore College 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.

CR, NC, NR, INC, IP, R (audit), and W do not count toward GPA.

Latin honors at Swarthmore College

Swarthmore College does not award traditional Latin honors. That reflects a deliberate institutional position rather than an oversight — schools in this group generally argue that ranking students against each other distorts the point of the education.

Worth knowing about Swarthmore College

Swarthmore has no dean's list and no official class rank, and the college does not disclose students' GPAs to them.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Swarthmore College 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.

Will this match what my registrar shows?▾

It should track your official GPA for standard coursework at Swarthmore College. 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.
