Common questions
Can I still pass if I fail the final?
Often, yes — it depends on your current grade and the final's weight. With an 80 going in and a final worth 20%, even a 40 on the final leaves you at 72. Run your exact numbers in the calculator; 'failing the final means failing the class' is only true when the final is very heavily weighted or your cushion is thin.
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.
