How Your GPA Is Calculated
Your grade point average (GPA) is found by taking the total grade points earned divided by the total units attempted with a letter grade.
Pass/No Pass (P/NP) grading is available for eligible courses by petition before the published deadline: an A, B, or C grade is recorded as "P," and a D or F grade is recorded as "NP." Units taken P/NP are not computed in the GPA.

Good Standing, Academic Renewal, and Course Repetition
Good standing requires completing 12 or more semester units, earning a GPA of at least 2.0 on the 4.0 scale, and completing more than 50 percent of enrolled units; students in good standing are limited to 18 units per semester.
Students may petition for academic renewal to discount up to a districtwide maximum of 30 units of substandard grades ("D," "F," or "NP") from the GPA, provided at least 12 consecutive months have elapsed and at least 12 subsequent semester units were completed with a "C" or better. Discounted courses remain visible on the transcript but are excluded from the GPA calculation.
A course with a substandard grade ("D," "F," "NC," or "NP") may be repeated up to two times; only the grade and credits from the final enrollment are used to compute grade points for that course.

Academic Honors
Students enrolled in 12 or more units who earn a semester GPA of at least 3.0 receive honors, and 3.5 or higher receives highest honors; students earning highest honors are notified of eligibility to join Phi Theta Kappa.
Graduation with honors requires a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or better; graduation with highest honors requires 3.5 or better.

Frequently asked questions
Can I save my semesters and track my CGPA at FLC?
Yes. After you calculate a semester's GPA, click "Save as semester" to add it to the built-in CGPA tracker, which then computes your cumulative GPA across every saved semester using the standard weighted formula (Σ SGPA × credits ÷ Σ credits). You can save semesters by course (full breakdown) or quick-add a past semester with just the SGPA and credit hours. Locking, renaming, and deleting saved semesters are all supported, and the tracker shows a running CGPA plus a trend arrow versus your previous semester.
How do I convert SGPA to CGPA at FLC?
Your CGPA is the credit-weighted average of every semester's SGPA. The formula is: CGPA = (SGPA₁ × credits₁ + SGPA₂ × credits₂ + … + SGPAₙ × creditsₙ) ÷ (credits₁ + credits₂ + … + creditsₙ). On this page, add each semester to the CGPA tracker (either by course or as a quick SGPA + credit-hours entry) and the calculator runs the conversion for you on every save, edit, and delete — no manual arithmetic required.
Can I add past semester GPAs without entering every course?
Yes. On the My CGPA Tracker tab, click "Add semester" and choose the quick-add option. You enter just the SGPA and the credit hours for that semester — no course-by-course breakdown required. It works as a GPA calculator with previous semesters support, or as a GPA calculator without course details when you only remember the SGPA from your transcript. Quick-added and course-by-course semesters can be mixed freely; both contribute to your CGPA using the same credit-weighted formula.
Is my CGPA tracker data sent to your servers?
No. Your saved semesters are stored locally in your browser only — nothing is transmitted to GPAWise. A "Clear all tracker data" button is always available on the tracker tab to wipe the data on demand.
Is this Folsom Lake College (FLC) GPA calculator free?
Yes — GPAWise is completely free to use. There's no signup, no paywall, and your inputs stay in your browser.
