Each professor has their own grading scale, so for example, a 90 could be an A in one class and an A- in another. Typically, an A- is 90-92.99, an A is 93-96.99, and an A+ is 97+, though this does differ, especially in courses where grades are curved.

That said, Bama uses a modified grading scale where an A- is a 3.66 on the GPA scale rather than a 3.7 and an A+ is a 4.33. Coming from a state where public colleges and K-12 schools aren’t aren’t permitted to give A+ grades, my transfer course GPA went down and I didn’t benefit from getting what would have been A+ grades on typical UA grading scales.
