Common questions
What's a passing grade in college?
Usually a D (60%) technically passes, but 'passing' and 'counting' differ: many majors require a C or better in core courses, prerequisites often demand a C, and anything below a C can trigger a retake requirement. Financial aid typically also requires a 2.0 GPA overall. Check your program's rules, not just the university minimum.
What GPA do I need for the Dean's List?
Most schools set Dean's List between 3.5 and 3.7 for the semester, with a minimum credit load (often 12+ graded credits). It's a semester GPA, not cumulative — one strong term can make the list even in a rebuilding year. Your school's exact cutoff will be published by the registrar.
