College of DuPage (COD) GPA Calculator

Only letter grades A, B, C, D, and F carry grade points (4, 3, 2, 1, and 0 per semester hour of credit) and count toward the cumulative GPA.

• S (Satisfactory), I (Incomplete), R (Repeat indicator), W (Withdrawal), N, and X (Audit) are not included in the GPA, though they appear on the transcript.
• An Incomplete ('I') is excluded from the GPA while outstanding, but automatically converts to an F — which then counts — if not resolved within 12 months.
• Courses numbered below 1000 are excluded from the GPA regardless of grade earned.
• If a course is repeated, the transcript shows an 'R' next to the grade and only the retained attempt counts toward the cumulative GPA as of the term it was retaken.

College of DuPage measures academic standing against a cumulative GPA of 2.00:

• Good Standing — cumulative GPA of 2.00 or higher.
• Academic Warning — fewer than 12 attempted COD credit hours and cumulative GPA below 2.00.
• Academic Probation I — 12 or more attempted hours with cumulative and semester GPA below 2.00; registration is restricted until a counselor meeting and until cumulative GPA reaches 2.00.
• Academic Probation II — one semester on Probation I with cumulative and semester GPA still below 2.00.
• Academic Suspension I — one semester on Probation II with cumulative and semester GPA still below 2.00; suspended for one fall or spring semester.
• Academic Suspension II — one semester on Suspension I with cumulative and semester GPA still below 2.00; suspended for 12 consecutive months.

At every stage, the registration restriction lifts once the cumulative GPA reaches 2.00 or higher.

Academic Honors (awarded each semester) requires good academic standing, at least 6 credit hours of 1000-level-or-above coursework, no current Incomplete grade, and a semester GPA of 3.50 to 4.00 inclusive.

Graduation Honors (shown on the diploma, and on the transcript since fall 2014) are based on cumulative College of DuPage GPA:

• Highest Honors — cumulative GPA of 4.00 and at least 40 credits earned at College of DuPage.
• High Honors — cumulative GPA of 3.60 to 4.00.
• Honors — cumulative GPA of 3.20 to 3.59.

Students must take at least 8 semester hours of letter-graded credit (excluding 'S') to be eligible for graduation honors.
