In case they don’t use the system anymore, 4=A, so one cannot possibly get higher than a 4.00 Grade Point Average—or lower than a flat zero.

In my mind, it is trickier on the lower end. 0=F, so a “D” average of 1.00 would mean a student had as many C’s as F’s if anything other than all D’s.

But if an individual could still have more D’s than F’s and no C’s, they would have more barely passing grades (D’s) than failing ones. Still, their average would be less than a 1.00. That is, less than a D average, giving them a score in the ‘F’ range—but more D’s than F’s.

Could a person still graduate or pass with a 0.9 or 0.5 GPA? Zero-point-anything is still in the failure range, is it not?
