How does GPA work at the university level?

<p>No A+.</p>

<p>If you Pass (you only need a C-) a Pass/No Pass class, it doesn’t factor into your GPA. However, if you fail it does.</p>

<p>Also, transfer credit goes into a separate transfer GPA and does not change your USC gpa.</p>

<p>A semester GPA of 3.5 is Dean’s List (at least that’s how it is in CLAS).</p>
