What is a D+ grade worth?
A D+ is worth 1.3 grade points on the standard US 4.0 scale, and usually maps to a percentage range of 67–69%. That grade-point value is what gets averaged (weighted by credits) across your courses to produce your GPA.
How a D+ affects your GPA
Each course pulls your GPA toward that course’s grade points. A D+ pulls yours toward 1.3: if your current GPA is higher, a D+ drags it down; if it’s lower, a D+ lifts it — and the more credits the course is worth, the bigger the effect. See exactly how with the GPA calculator.
