A D+ is a full grade below the national average, which is a B GPA. It’s a low GPA. Buckle down on your studies, and you’ll be able to raise your GPA to a respectable level.
For high school students
Though they’re not far apart, a C- looks a lot better than a D+. If you can raise your GPA into the C range, progress will be easier to make from there.
For college students
With a D+ GPA, you’re most likely on academic probation at your college or university. Luckily, if you can raise your GPA just a few points, you can make it out of probation territory.
How Can I Raise My GPA?
It’s easier to maintain a good GPA than to raise a bad GPA—you'll need consistency and diligence. Make your studies a high priority, and you’ll see your GPA turn around in a semester or two.
Make studying part of your daily routine, even if you don’t have a test in the immediate future.
Participate in class. This way, you’ll show your instructor that you are interested, and you’ll grasp concepts more thoroughly.
A 1.4 GPA is equivalent to 69% or D+ letter grade. The national average GPA is 3.0 which means a 1.4 GPA is well below average and will not look good on a report card.
D+, D, D- indicates less than satisfactory performance. F indicates unsatisfactory performance (no credit: always include last date of attendance). P indicates Pass (A-, B and C will automatically be replaced by "P" when the Pass/No Pass option has been requested. A+ and A will be recorded as "A+" and "A", not "P").
Most colleges and universities generally consider a "D" (or a 60% to 69% score) as a passing grade. It's important to note that this minimum or lowest passing grade standard can significantly vary depending on the institution or major. For instance, some universities may require a "C" or better to pass.
GPA Impact: One D will indeed lower your GPA, but the effect depends on the number of classes you've taken and the grades you've received in the other courses. You can calculate your updated GPA to see how significantly it has been impacted.
The national average for a GPA is around 3.0 and a 2.0 GPA puts you below that average. A 2.0 GPA means that you've gotten only C-s and D+s in your high school classes so far. Since this GPA is significantly below a 2.0, it will make things very difficult for you in the college application process.
