Pennsylvania State University uses a standard 4.0 plus/minus scale. Penn State does not award A+ (A is the maximum, 4.0). There are no C-, D+, or D- grades. Because the grade values differ from a generic 4.0 calculator, your Penn State GPA should be computed on the school's own scale — which is exactly what the calculator above does.
Credit hours matter as much as grades: a 4.0 in a 4-credit course adds 16.0 quality points, while the same grade in a 1-credit course adds only 4.0. Higher-credit courses move your Penn State GPA more.
Two thresholds shape your standing at Penn State: stay at or above 2.0 to remain in good academic standing, and reach about 3.50 to make the Dean's List. The thresholds bar above shows where your current GPA falls between them.
