Understanding the Baylor University Grading System

Baylor University utilizes a weighted grading scale that incorporates plus and minus grades. This system provides a more precise representation of academic achievement than a standard whole-letter scale. Your Grade Point Average (GPA) is a critical metric for academic standing, scholarships, and graduation honors.

Official Baylor Grade Points

Grade	Points	Grade	Points
A	4.00	C	2.00
A-	3.67	C-	1.67
B+	3.33	D+	1.33
B	3.00	D	1.00
B-	2.67	D-	0.67
C+	2.33	F	0.00

How to Use the Baylor GPA Calculator

1. Current Cumulative Totals: If you have already completed semesters at Baylor, enter your current cumulative GPA and the total credit hours earned. This allows the tool to project your new cumulative standing after this semester.
2. Course Information: Enter the name (optional), the grade received (or expected), and the credit hours for each course in your current term.
3. Calculate: Click the green button. The tool calculates your Term GPA (just this semester) and your Cumulative GPA (total academic career).

GPA Calculation Example

Suppose you are taking three courses:

• Biology: 4 Credits, Grade: A (4.00) → 16.0 Quality Points
• English: 3 Credits, Grade: B+ (3.33) → 9.99 Quality Points
• History: 3 Credits, Grade: B (3.00) → 9.0 Quality Points

Total Quality Points: 34.99
Total Credits: 10
Semester GPA: 34.99 / 10 = 3.499 (rounded to 3.50)

Academic Standing and Honors

At Baylor, maintaining a high GPA is essential for remaining in good academic standing. For undergraduate students, a cumulative GPA below 2.0 typically results in academic probation. Furthermore, graduation honors are awarded based on cumulative GPA:

• 🏆 Cum Laude: 3.75 – 3.84
• 🏆 Magna Cum Laude: 3.85 – 3.94
• 🏆 Summa Cum Laude: 3.95 – 4.00
