Eastern Illinois University (EIU) GPA Calculator

EIU's undergraduate grading system uses just five letter grades — A (4), B (3), C (2), D (1), F (0) — with no plus or minus modifiers at any grade.

A sixth grade, NF (Failure – Non-Attendance), is given when a student stops attending before completing 60% of the term; it is worth 0 grade points and is treated exactly like an F for GPA purposes.

Several marks carry no grade-point value and are not computed in your GPA: I (Incomplete), CR (Credit), NC (No Credit), NNC (No Credit – Non-Attendance), AU (Audit), W (Withdrew), X (No Grade Submitted), and DC (Deferred Credit).

Your grade point average is based only on course work taken at Eastern (including Study Abroad, Clinical Laboratory Sciences, and National Student Exchange courses).

Grade points for a course are found by multiplying the grade-point value by the number of semester hours. Your cumulative GPA is the total grade points earned divided by the total semester hours attempted — excluding any courses graded I, CR, DC, NC, NNC, W, AU, or X.

Once you've attempted at least nine semester hours, a cumulative GPA below 2.00 at the end of a grading period places you on Academic Warning.

Still below 2.00 after a grading period on warning moves you to Academic Probation; you must reach at least a 2.00 GPA each grading period or you will be academically dismissed.

You are also dismissed if your GPA for any grading period is 0.00 while your cumulative GPA is below 2.00.

Bachelor's degree candidates need at least 120 semester hours with a cumulative GPA of 2.00 in all courses attempted, plus a minimum 2.00 GPA in their chosen major.

Teacher education programs require at least a 2.65 GPA, both cumulative and in the major, for graduation.

Undergraduates with a declared major who earn a GPA of 3.80–4.00 (on the 4.00 scale) while completing at least 12 graded semester hours in a fall or spring semester are named to the Dean's List.

Undergraduates with an undeclared major meeting the same GPA and hours criteria are named to the Honors List instead. Neither list is generated for summer terms.

Credit for a course in which you earned a D at another college will only transfer to EIU if your overall GPA from that institution was at least a C average. English and speech transfer credit require a C or better.
