Understanding the Temple University GPA System
Whether you are a Fly in 4 student at the Main Campus or studying at Temple Japan, maintaining your Grade Point Average (GPA) is crucial for academic standing, scholarship eligibility, and graduation requirements. Temple University uses a 4.0 grading scale that incorporates plus (+) and minus (-) weights to provide a more nuanced reflection of student performance.
Temple University Undergraduate Grading Scale
Temple uses specific point values for each letter grade. These "Quality Points" are multiplied by the number of credits for the course to determine your total points.
| Letter Grade | Quality Points | Percentage Range (Approx.) |
|---|---|---|
| A | 4.00 | 93-100 |
| A- | 3.67 | 90-92 |
| B+ | 3.33 | 87-89 |
| B | 3.00 | 83-86 |
| B- | 2.67 | 80-82 |
| C+ | 2.33 | 77-79 |
| C | 2.00 | 73-76 |
| C- | 1.67 | 70-72 |
| D+ | 1.33 | 67-69 |
| D | 1.00 | 63-66 |
| D- | 0.67 | 60-62 |
| F | 0.00 | Below 60 |
How to Calculate Your GPA Manually
To calculate your semester GPA at Temple, follow these three steps:
- Assign Quality Points: Match each grade you received with its point value (e.g., a B+ is 3.33).
- Calculate Points per Course: Multiply the quality points by the number of credit hours for that class. (Example: A 3-credit course with a B+ = 3.33 x 3 = 9.99 points).
- Sum and Divide: Add all your quality points together and divide by the total number of graded credits attempted.
Note: Grades like P (Pass), W (Withdrawal), and AU (Audit) are not calculated into your GPA.
Academic Standing at Temple
Temple University requires students to maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0. Falling below this threshold may lead to Academic Warning, Probation, or Dismissal. Additionally, many programs within the Fox School of Business or the College of Engineering may have higher GPA requirements for major-specific courses or graduation.
Tips for Raising Your GPA
- Course Retakes: Temple has a specific course repetition policy. If you retake a course, the higher grade may replace the lower grade in your GPA calculation (check with your advisor for specific limits).
- The Writing Center: Utilize Temple's Writing Center and Student Success Center to improve your performance in General Education (GenEd) and major requirements.
- Credit Load: If your GPA is struggling, consider taking 12-14 credits instead of 16-18 to focus more deeply on each subject.
