Coastal Carolina University (CCU) GPA Calculator

Only grades of A, B+, B, C+, C, D+, D, F, WF, and Fx are used to calculate Grade Hours, Grade Points, and Grade Point Average. Grades of I (incomplete), S/U (Pass-Fail option), W (withdrawal), and AUD (audit) do not affect GPA.

Students may use Repeat Forgiveness for up to 13 undergraduate credits: the lowest grade and its hours are excluded from the cumulative GPA when a course is repeated (only C, D+, D, F, or WF grades qualify). Outside that allowance, a Standard Repeat counts both attempts' grades and hours toward the GPA.

Students with fewer than 30 credit hours are placed on Freshman Academic Notice when their cumulative GPA is at least 2.0 but below 2.25. Any student is placed on Academic Advisory with a semester GPA below 2.0 and a cumulative GPA of at least 2.0 but below 2.5. A cumulative GPA below 2.0 places a student on Academic Probation; a student on probation who fails to earn at least a 2.0 semester GPA is placed on Academic Suspension.

Former students who were away for at least 48 consecutive months with a cumulative GPA below 2.0 may apply for Academic Forgiveness after completing 24 graded credit hours at a 2.0 GPA or better upon readmission; prior grades of D or better keep their credit but are dropped from the GPA calculation, and the student becomes ineligible for graduation honors.

To be eligible for a degree, a student must complete at least 25 percent of the degree program's requirements in residence at Coastal Carolina University, including 12 credit hours in the major and 6 credit hours in the minor (some programs require more).

Graduation Latin honors are based on cumulative GPA: Summa Cum Laude (3.95 and above), Magna Cum Laude (3.75 to 3.949), and Cum Laude (3.5 to 3.749).

Each fall and spring semester, students with a GPA of 4.0 on at least 12 graded hours are named to the President's Honor List; students with a 3.5 GPA or higher (3.25 for freshmen) on at least 12 graded hours are named to the Dean's Honor List. Pass-Fail, audited, correspondence, and exam-credit hours do not count toward the 12-hour minimum.

The President's Award for Academic Achievement recognizes students who earn a perfect 4.0 GPA across every institution they have ever attended, with at least 45 hours completed in residence at Coastal.

Credit transfers only for courses completed with a grade of C- or better at a regionally accredited institution. Up to 76 credits may transfer from a two-year college and up to 90 credits from a four-year college or university (up to 90 for degree-completion programs from either).
