How grades convert to points here

Grades at University of Virginia carry plus/minus modifiers with distinct point values: A- at 3.7, B+ at 3.3, and so on down the scale. Those 0.3-point steps accumulate, and they are the usual reason a transcript that looks like "mostly A's" lands at 3.7 rather than 4.0.

Standing, honors lists, and retakes

Good academic standing at University of Virginia requires a cumulative GPA of at least 1.8. That differs from the 2.0 most US institutions use, so do not assume the common threshold applies here.

The Dean's List threshold is a 3.50 term GPA. Because it resets every term, it is the one recognition that is always reachable next semester no matter what your transcript looks like today.

On repeated courses: For courses repeated after Fall 2025 (D+/D/D-/F), both attempts appear on the transcript but only the higher of the two grades counts toward GPA — limited to the first 9 credits repeated and only for UVA letter-graded courses.

One detail specific to this school

UVA uses the phrase 'with distinction' rather than the traditional cum laude / magna cum laude / summa cum laude Latin terms, and full-time good standing requires no more than one grade below C- in a semester in addition to the 1.8 GPA floor.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does University of Virginia 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.
What GPA do you need to stay in good standing at University of Virginia?▾
A cumulative 1.8. Note this differs from the 2.0 threshold most US universities use. 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 Virginia, does the old grade still count?▾
For courses repeated after Fall 2025 (D+/D/D-/F), both attempts appear on the transcript but only the higher of the two grades counts toward GPA — limited to the first 9 credits repeated and only for UVA letter-graded courses.
How accurate is this calculator for my transcript?▾
Close, for ordinary cases. The calculation follows University of Virginia's documented grade-point values, but transfer credits, repeated-course adjustments, and any department-specific rules can shift the official number. Treat this as an estimate and the transcript as authoritative.
