Anne Arundel Community College (AACC) GPA Calculator

Beyond the standard letter grades, AACC uses two notable non-standard designators. A PA (Pass) grade, used in courses with a Pass/Fail (PA/F) grading designation, represents a grade of C or better but carries no quality-point value and is not computed in the GPA. An FX grade denotes failure due to never attending or ceasing to attend a course at or before its midpoint (including online courses); unlike PA, FX carries a quality-point value of 0 — the same as F — and is counted toward cumulative GPA.

Grade point average is calculated by dividing total quality points by total credit hours attempted. Quality points for a course equal its credit hours multiplied by the grade's quality-point value. Only credit courses numbered 100-299 taken at AACC count; developmental courses numbered 000-099 are not included in the GPA.

Adjusted cumulative GPA excludes a course's earlier attempt(s) when the course has been repeated, forgiven, or granted academic clemency — only the most recent (or forgiven/clemency-adjusted) result counts, though every attempt remains on the transcript. Students may repeat a course once with credit awarded only once; a third attempt requires petitioning the Committee on Academic Standards.

Students with an adjusted grade point average of 2.00 or higher are in good academic standing.

The Dean's List recognizes full-time students earning at least 12 credits with a GPA of 3.40 or higher in the previous term. The Honors List recognizes part-time students earning at least six credit hours with a GPA of 3.40 or higher in the previous term.
