I thought that UF's grading system was a little odd. It was a plus only scale, but there were no pluses for A or E grades. So the scale looked like this:

A = 4.0
B+ = 3.5
B = 3.0
C+ = 2.5
C = 2.0
D+ = 1.5
D = 1.0
E = 0.0

It kind of stunk that there were no A+ (4.5) or E+ (0.5) grades to either recognize your hard work, or to save your butt from potential academic suspension, respectively.
Baylor has this same system. Some departments (like the religion department I know for sure) say you have to make a 94 before you can get an A. (and an 84 is a B, 83=C+, etc). It stinks when you apply to a graduate/law/medical school because they turn all those +s into regular Bs or Cs, so your GPA is lowered.
