Auburn University Grading Scale
At Auburn University, the GPA is calculated on a 4.0 scale, with grades ranging from A, worth 4.0 points, to F, FA, and WF, worth 0.0 points.
This GPA only reflects coursework completed at Auburn, and you can check your official GPA through the Tiger I student information system. Some grades, like S for satisfactory or W for withdrawn passing, appear on transcripts but don’t affect your GPA. Plus, Auburn doesn’t use plus or minus grades to calculate GPA.
A policy for undergraduates allows you to remove up to three grades of D or F from your GPA calculation. This policy doesn’t apply to graduate students or those in professional programs like pharmacy and veterinary medicine.
Auburn’s grading system is straightforward and gives students a clear understanding of their academic standing.
