Georgia Highlands College (GHC) GPA Calculator

The grade point average is calculated by dividing the number of hours earned in all courses attempted in which a grade of A, B, C, D, or F has been assigned into the total number of quality points earned on those hours. Grades or hours earned in Learning Support courses are not computed in the institutional or cumulative GPA.

An F$ ("Unearned Failure," assigned when a student stops attending without completing withdrawal paperwork) is computed in the GPA as an F.

Students are allowed three attempts per course; a Dean, Chair, or advisor must approve any further attempt. Only the highest grade earned is computed in the institutional GPA, though all attempts remain in the cumulative GPA.

Each semester, students who complete a minimum of nine credit hours (excluding Learning Support coursework) and earn a GPA of 4.0 are named to the President's List. Students who complete a minimum of nine credit hours (excluding Learning Support coursework) and earn a minimum GPA of 3.5 are named to the Dean's List.

Grades (quality points) earned at other institutions do not count in Georgia Highlands College's institutional GPA. If a student earns a higher grade in a transfer course equivalent to a GHC course already on their record, the GHC course grade is excluded from the institutional and term GPA but remains included in the overall GPA.
