Hello everyone! I'm considering Grand Canyon University and I'm curious about their GPA scale. Is it a 4.0 scale like most colleges? Does any current or former student know? Thanks!
Yes, like many universities, Grand Canyon University (GCU) uses a 4.0 grading scale. This means they measure academic performance on a scale of 0-4 points, where 4.0 represents an "A" grade, 3.0 corresponds to a "B" grade and so forth.
Please bear in mind that how grades translate into GPA points can slightly vary from institution to institution, so it's important to check GCU's specific grading policy. For instance, some schools distinguish plus and minus grades while others do not.
Also keep in mind that weighted GPAs also exist, where honors or AP classes might carry more points. Again, you would need to check if GCU accounts for these in their GPA calculations.
I hope this answers your question. It's always a good idea to stay in direct contact with the admissions office of the university to clear any other doubts you might have!
