Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University (FAMU) GPA Calculator

FAMU describes each letter grade qualitatively: A is "Exceptional," B is "Superior," C is "Average," D is "Passing but poor," and F is "Failure."

FAMU also uses a distinct grade, WF ("Walked-away failure"), assigned when a student leaves the University without officially filing a Withdrawal Form — it is graded separately from a regular F, though both affect your GPA the same way.

An Audit (X) grade carries no course credit at all, so it is not part of your GPA calculation.

Your term GPA is the number of grade points earned divided by the number of hours attempted for GPA; your cumulative GPA works the same way across your full FAMU record. The Student Information System recalculates both automatically whenever a grade changes.

Incomplete (I) grades don't count as hours attempted until they're replaced with a final grade, and courses approved for satisfactory-unsatisfactory (S-U) grading are also excluded from your GPA.

If you repeat an undergraduate course (1000-4999 level), only your final attempt counts toward your cumulative GPA under the Course Forgiveness Policy — available up to three times in your undergraduate career (engineering-prefix courses are not eligible).

A cumulative GPA below 2.0 the first time triggers Academic Warning, with a registration hold until you meet with an advisor and build an academic plan.

If your cumulative GPA is still below 2.0 in a later semester, you move to Academic Probation, capped at 15 semester hours, and must earn at least a 2.0 term GPA every semester until your cumulative GPA recovers to 2.0.

Falling below a 2.0 term GPA while on probation results in Academic Suspension for the following semester. A student reinstated from suspension who again fails to reach a 2.0 term GPA faces Academic Dismissal and may not re-enroll at FAMU.

To qualify for a bachelor's degree, you must have earned a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.00, in addition to completing the required coursework.

At least 25% of the credit hours required for your degree must be earned through FAMU instruction, and the final 25% of your coursework must be completed in residence at FAMU.

Honor Roll: full-time undergraduates with a 3.00+ semester GPA and a 2.5+ cumulative GPA.

Dean's List: full-time undergraduates with a 3.5+ semester GPA and a 3.0+ cumulative GPA.

President's List: full-time undergraduates with a perfect 4.0 semester GPA and a 3.5+ cumulative GPA.

Only undergraduates are eligible, you can appear on just one list per semester, and a "U" or "W" grade that semester disqualifies you.

To transfer to FAMU, you need a grade point average of at least 2.00 on a 4.00 scale on all college-level academic courses attempted, and you must be in good standing at your prior institution.

Individual transferred courses must have a grade of "C" or better, or "S"/"P." Your transfer grades themselves are not factored into your FAMU GPA — only FAMU coursework counts toward it.
