Transcripts with GPAs weighted at the high school level are accepted and are encouraged. The Office of Admissions and Records evaluates all transcripts received. If the GPA on the transcript is on a 4.0 scale, Auburn University records the GPA as it appears on the transcript. If both a weighted and unweighted GPA are provided on a 4.0 scale, Auburn will record the weighted GPA. If the GPA is provided as a numerical percentage on a 100 point scale or as a number on any other scale, Records will re-calculate the GPA but will not weight the GPA they calculate. If a student attends a high school whose system does not provide a weighted GPA on a 4.0 scale, the high school counselor may include a cover letter with the transcript indicating the student's weighted GPA.
