Catalog Reference - Academic Standing

MINIMUM GRADE POINT AVERAGE REQUIRED

# of units (gpa hours + transfer units) minimum cumulative gpa

GPA hours include all units attempted at Towson University that earned a letter grade (A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C, D+, D, F, FX) and are calculated on the transcript. Withdrawals and courses that have been excluded as a result of a repeat, do not count as GPA hours. The total of GPA hours in addition to the number of posted transfer units, including AP/IB/CLEP test credits, will determine the minimum CGPA required to maintain good academic standing.
