Everett Community College (EvCC) GPA Calculator

Everett Community College uses a letter symbol grading system. The + and - symbols may be used with traditional letter grades A through C to differentiate levels of achievement within a grade range. The + is not used with the letter grades A or F. The - is not used with the letter grade D, as of January 2014.

Non-traditional grades (I, R, S, U, V, W, and Y) have no grade point value and, except for the S grade, no credit is awarded. Courses receiving these grades are excluded from the grade point average calculation.

A grade point average (GPA) is based upon courses where letter grades A through F are assigned; non-traditional grades are excluded. Everett Community College computes three separate GPAs:

• Quarterly GPA: total quarterly grade points divided by total quarterly credit hours earned at EvCC; excludes transfer credits and other quarters' credits.
• Cumulative GPA: total cumulative grade points divided by total cumulative credit hours earned at EvCC across all quarters; excludes transfer credits.
• College-Level GPA: calculated using only courses numbered 100 or higher.

A course may be repeated up to twice to improve a grade (two repeats maximum in addition to the original enrollment); the highest grade earned among the attempts is used in the cumulative GPA.

A returning student may petition to exclude early grades (generally below a C, or 2.0) from the cumulative GPA if at least one calendar year passed without enrollment and the student has since completed at least 30 credits with a GPA of 2.5 or higher. Excluded grades remain visible on the transcript but are removed from GPA calculations.
