Q

How do I calculate my SNHU GPA?

Multiply each course's SNHU grade points by its credit hours to get quality points, add them up, and divide by total credits. The calculator above applies SNHU's exact grade values automatically.

  • Step 1: grade points x credits = quality points for each course
  • Step 2: add all quality points
  • Step 3: add all credit hours
  • Step 4: quality points / total credits = GPA
  • Example: A(4.0)x3 + B(3.0)x3 = 21.00 / 6 = 3.50
Q

What GPA do you need for the Dean's List at SNHU?

Understanding the Southern New Hampshire University GPA Scale

Southern New Hampshire University uses a standard 4.0 plus/minus scale. SNHU uses a full +/- scale with no A+ (A is the max, 4.0) and no D-. The failing grade is F (0.0). Because the grade values differ from a generic 4.0 calculator, your SNHU 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 SNHU GPA more.

Two thresholds shape your standing at SNHU: 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.
