Multiply each course's USC grade points by its credit hours to get quality points, add them up, and divide by total credits. The calculator above applies USC's exact grade values automatically.
USC's Dean's List requires about a 3.50 GPA with at least 12 graded credits. Dean's List requires a 3.50+ semester GPA on at least 12 units of letter-graded coursework in a single Fall or Spring semester. Each USC school compiles its own list using this same threshold.
At University of Southern California, a cumulative GPA below 2.0 drops you out of good academic standing and onto academic probation. You normally have a term to bring it back above 2.0.
University of Southern California uses F (0.0) as its failing grade. USC uses a full +/- scale including C-, D+, D, and D-, but there is no A+ (A is the max, 4.0). The failing grade is F (0.0).

University of Southern California uses a standard 4.0 plus/minus scale. USC uses a full +/- scale including C-, D+, D, and D-, but there is no A+ (A is the max, 4.0). The failing grade is F (0.0). Because the grade values differ from a generic 4.0 calculator, your USC 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 USC GPA more.
Two thresholds shape your standing at USC: 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.
