What Is a C+ GPA?

A C+ is usually a 2.3 GPA on the standard 4.0 plus/minus scale. It often corresponds to about 77-79%, though exact percentage bands vary by school.

C+ on the 4.0 scale

The common plus/minus scale places C+ above C (2.0) and below B- (2.7). That is why C+ is usually 2.3.

If your school does not use plus/minus grading, C+ may not appear on the transcript at all.

Is C+ passing?

Usually yes. A C+ is normally a passing grade, and it is above the C level. Some major requirements may require at least a C or B in specific courses, so check your program rules.
