Florida State College at Jacksonville (FSCJ) GPA Calculator

Grade point average is calculated by dividing total grade points earned by total semester hours attempted for graded courses. Grades of I, W, NR, and X are not used in the computation of GPA, and grades earned in college-preparatory courses do not count toward GPA either.

Students may repeat a course to improve a grade previously earned in a D, F, or FN course, per State Board Rule 6A-14.0301, limited to two forgiveness attempts per course; the best grade earned is used for GPA. A student may have only three total attempts at any course (original grade, repeats, and withdrawals combined); a fourth attempt requires an academic appeal. GPA calculations for financial-aid purposes may include all attempts.

A student may withdraw from a course without academic penalty up to the published withdrawal date, limited to two withdrawals per course; on a third attempt the student must receive a letter grade (A, B, C, D, or F) and may no longer withdraw.

An Incomplete (I) grade may be assigned at the instructor's discretion, for non-academic reasons, if the student has completed at least 75% of the coursework and is passing at the time of the request. Unfinished work automatically converts to an F if not completed within the prescribed timeframe (normally the first eight weeks of the following term).

The Academic Fresh Start policy lets a student whose cumulative GPA is below 2.0 exclude up to 16 hours of "F" grades from their cumulative GPA calculation, granted once per student. To qualify, the student must not have enrolled in graded college-level coursework anywhere for two consecutive calendar years; after re-admission, the student must complete a minimum of 12 credit hours with no "F" grades and a term GPA of at least 2.000 in each such term, while the recalculated cumulative GPA remains below 2.0 before the fresh start is granted. Excluded grades are marked "FX" on the transcript; the original grades still appear, and institutions a student transfers to may still count them when evaluating admission.

Students with an excessive number of W or I grades, or who repeat courses to improve their GPA, may jeopardize their admission to programs in the State University System of Florida or other institutions.

Degree-seeking students are recognized for academic excellence each term via the College President's List or Dean's List, posted to the transcript three weeks after term completion. Both lists require at least 6 credit hours enrolled in the term and a minimum of 12 credit hours earned at FSCJ (excluding transfer and college-preparatory courses), plus a cumulative GPA of 3.0.
