How grades convert to points here

Plus and minus grades count at Texas Christian University, 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.

P/NC graded courses are excluded from GPA and a P/NC grade cannot replace an earlier letter grade.

Latin honors at Texas Christian University

Texas Christian University awards Latin honors against fixed GPA cutoffs: 3.5 for cum laude, 3.7 for magna cum laude, and 3.9 for summa cum laude.

Fixed cutoffs are the friendlier system to plan against. You know the target from your first semester, and clearing it does not depend on how strong your classmates turn out to be — unlike a percentile system, where the threshold moves every year.

Standing, honors lists, and retakes

Good academic standing at Texas Christian University 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.

Texas Christian University sets Dean's List at 3.60 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: Only the most recent grade counts toward GPA when a course is repeated; all attempts remain visible on the transcript.

Worth knowing about Texas Christian University

TCU does not award A+, and its Dean's Honor List threshold rises with class standing: 3.6 GPA for first-years, 3.7 for sophomores, 3.8 for juniors and seniors (all require 12+ earned hours).

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Texas Christian 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.
What GPA do you need for cum laude at Texas Christian University?▾
3.50 for cum laude, 3.70 for magna cum laude, and 3.90 for summa cum laude. These are fixed institutional thresholds rather than class percentiles, so they do not shift with your cohort. Most schools also require a minimum number of credits completed in residence — verify that separately with the registrar.
What GPA do you need to stay in good standing at Texas Christian University?▾
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 Texas Christian University, does the old grade still count?▾
Only the most recent grade counts toward GPA when a course is repeated; all attempts remain visible on the transcript.
Will this match what my registrar shows?▾
It should track your official GPA for standard coursework at Texas Christian University. 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.
