Minimum passing grade: C. Grades below C still count in your GPA but can't be used toward graduation.
Multiply each course's grade points by its credits to get its quality points. Add the quality points together and divide by the total GPA credits. Grades that don't count in the GPA, like a Pass or a Withdrawal, are left out of both totals.
| Course | Credits | Grade | Points | Quality points |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MATH 201 | 3 | B+ | 3.33 | 9.99 |
| CMPS 200 | 4 | A- | 3.67 | 14.68 |
(3 × 3.33 + 4 × 3.67) ÷ 7 = 24.67 ÷ 7 = 3.52

Multiply each course's grade points by its credits, add the results, and divide by the credits attempted. LAU uses A 4.0, A- 3.67, B+ 3.33, B 3.0, B- 2.67, C+ 2.33, C 2.0, C- 1.67, D+ 1.33, D 1.0 and F 0. There is no A+.
Your latest grade counts in your cumulative and major GPA, even if it's lower. Only courses graded B- or lower can be repeated, and a WF counts as an attempt.
From the Fall 2026 graduating cohort, Honors needs a cumulative GPA of 3.40 to 3.59, Distinction 3.60 to 3.79 and High Distinction 3.80 or higher.
LAU places you on probation when your cumulative GPA falls below 2.00 once you have at least 20 GPA credits.
