About the ASU GPA Scale
Arizona State University uses a plus/minus grading scale, but with a simplified lower range: A+=4.33, A=4.0, A−=3.67, B+=3.33, B=3.0, B−=2.67, C+=2.33, C=2.0, then D=1.0 and E=0.0. There is no C−, D+, or D− at ASU.
The most distinctive feature: an A+ carries 4.33 grade points per course (boosting your term GPA), but the official cumulative GPA is capped at 4.00 — so a transcript full of A+ grades still shows a 4.00 cumulative GPA.
| Letter Grade | Grade Points | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| A+ | 4.33 | Term GPA only; cumulative capped at 4.0 |
| A | 4.0 | |
| A- | 3.67 | |
| B+ | 3.33 | |
| B | 3.0 | |
| B- | 2.67 | |
| C+ | 2.33 | |
| C | 2.0 | |
| D | 1.0 | |
| E | 0.0 | Failing grade (not F) |
How ASU GPA is calculated
ASU GPA is calculated as:
GPA = total grade points ÷ total graded units
Only courses with letter grades A+ through E count. P, W, I, X, Y, and Z grades carry no grade points. Failed courses (E) count as 0.0 and are fully included in the calculation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does ASU use plus and minus grades?+
Yes. Arizona State University uses a plus/minus 4.0 scale, but with a simplified lower range: A+ = 4.33, A = 4.0, A- = 3.67, B+ = 3.33, B = 3.0, B- = 2.67, C+ = 2.33, C = 2.0, then D = 1.0 and E = 0.0. There is no C-, D+, or D- at ASU.
Is an A+ worth 4.33 at ASU?+
Yes, an A+ carries 4.33 grade points at ASU per course. However, the official cumulative GPA is capped at 4.00 — so even straight A+ grades show a 4.00 cumulative GPA on your transcript.
What is a failing grade at ASU?+
ASU uses E (not F) for a failing grade, worth 0.0 grade points. Grades like I (incomplete), P (pass), W (withdrawal), X, Y, and Z do not carry grade points.
How is ASU GPA calculated?+
Divide your total grade points by your total graded units (credit hours). Graded units are courses graded A+, A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C, D, or E. Other grades (P, W, I, etc.) add no grade points.
Does ASU have C- or D+ grades?+
No. ASU's scale goes straight from C (2.0) to D (1.0) — there is no C-, D+, or D-. This is different from schools like UF or Purdue, which use the full plus/minus range.
What GPA do I need to stay in good standing at ASU?+
Academic standing rules (probation, disqualification) depend on your cumulative ASU GPA and vary by college. Check the ASU catalog or your academic advisor for the specific thresholds.
