Academic policies at Georgia State
Graduating with honors
| Honor | Minimum cumulative GPA |
|---|---|
| Cum laude | 3.50 |
| Magna cum laude | 3.70 |
| Summa cum laude | 3.90 |
These bands — 3.50–3.69 cum laude, 3.70–3.89 magna, 3.90 and above summa — use your final cumulative Georgia State GPA. Because GSU counts an A+ as 4.30 quality points, your cumulative GPA can climb past 4.00, so the summa range effectively has no upper bound at 4.00.
Dean's List
Georgia State requires a term GPA of at least 3.50. You need at least 9 semester hours in fall or spring, or 6 in summer, with no Incompletes and a term GPA of 3.50 or higher. A 4.00 under the same conditions places you on the President's List instead.
Good academic standing
You need a cumulative GPA of at least 2.00 to stay in good academic standing. Your institutional Georgia State GPA must stay at 2.00 or above. Below that you move through four levels of scholastic discipline in order — warning, supervision, probation, and exclusion — with each stage requiring you to bring your term GPA back to 2.00 to avoid the next.
Repeating a course
GSU's Repeat to Replace policy lets you exclude your first grade in a retaken undergraduate course from your institutional GPA once you have earned a higher grade the second time, for up to 4 courses. Both attempts stay on your transcript, and this does not override GPA rules tied to state or federal aid such as HOPE.
Pass/fail grades and your GPA
Georgia State does not offer a general pass/fail option for regular undergraduate electives. S and U grades are reserved for specific requirements such as thesis hours, internships, and clinical practicums — you cannot opt a normal class out of your GPA.
An A+ is worth 4.30 here
Georgia State is one of the few universities where an A+ carries 4.30 quality points and is not capped at 4.00. That means a cumulative GPA above 4.00 is genuinely achievable, unlike at most schools where the A+ is capped.
