Fayetteville Technical Community College (FTCC) GPA Calculator

Each grade is assigned a grade point equivalent in quality points for each term credit hour scheduled. Your GPA is determined by dividing the total quality points earned by the number of term hours scheduled.

You may repeat a curriculum course once (a third attempt requires Dean approval for documented extenuating circumstances). When a course is repeated, only one attempt is counted in your GPA and in hours earned, though all attempts remain on your official transcript.

You may petition to have grades at least four years old forgiven. A forgiven grade stays on your transcript but no longer counts toward your GPA (it still counts toward the separate Financial Aid GPA).

You are in good academic standing with a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or above. Standing is reviewed at the end of each term:

• Academic Warning — cumulative GPA falls below 2.0 for the first time.
• Academic Probation — GPA is still below 2.0 after a term on warning; noted on your permanent record.
• Academic Suspension — GPA is still below 2.0 after a term on probation; results in suspension from the College for one 16-week semester.

To graduate, you must have sufficient grade points to average at least a 2.0 in both your major and cumulative GPA, and passing grades in all required courses. Certain curricula, especially in the health programs, require at least a B in major subject courses to be eligible to sit for state and national licensure examinations.

The President's List recognizes students with a perfect (4.0) grade point average each semester; the Dean's List recognizes students with an outstanding GPA each semester — both are reflected on the student's transcript.

Graduating with a quality point average of 3.5 in your program of study earns a diploma or degree with honors; a 4.0 average earns highest honors.

Official transcripts from previously attended colleges or universities are required to have prior coursework evaluated for transfer credit to FTCC.

If you plan to transfer FTCC credit elsewhere, be aware that the University of North Carolina System and other institutions generally require a grade of C or better in each transferred course, and receiving institutions do not have consistent policies on course repeats — some recompute your GPA using only the originally earned grade rather than FTCC's own repeat rule.
