Georgia Piedmont Technical College (GPTC) GPA Calculator

Beyond the A-F letter grades, Georgia Piedmont Technical College uses several symbols that appear on a transcript but are not included in the grade point average: W (Withdrawn before the mid-point, without penalty), I (Incomplete - automatically becomes an F if not resolved by the end of the following semester, with a maximum 12-month extension in some circumstances), IP (In Progress, Continuing Education courses only), S/U (Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory, non-graded Continuing Education courses only), AC (Articulated Credit), AU (Audit - no credit), and EX (Credit by Exam).

A grade followed by an asterisk (*) indicates a Learning Support course; a Learning Support grade is not counted in a student's earned hours or cumulative GPA.

By contrast, WF (Withdrawn - Failing) carries the same grade points as an F and does count toward GPA.

A grade point average is computed by multiplying the credit hours assigned to a course by the grade points earned, summing those totals across all courses, and dividing by the total credit hours attempted at Georgia Piedmont Technical College.

All courses and grades earned at Georgia Piedmont Tech are calculated into a student's cumulative GPA. Credits earned at other institutions, credit by examination, and other courses where non-letter symbols are assigned are not used in calculating the cumulative GPA.

Students who fail to achieve a 2.0 GPA or better for the semester are placed on Academic Warning.

A student on Academic Warning is placed on Academic Probation if their cumulative GPA falls below 1.75, and remains on probation until their cumulative GPA reaches 1.75 or better.

A student on Academic Probation is suspended from the college if their cumulative GPA is below 1.75 and their GPA for the term is below 2.0.

No credit toward graduation is given for a course in which a grade of F or WF was received.

At the end of each semester, students who achieve a 4.0 GPA on 12 or more credit hours of college-level courses (numbered 1000 or higher) are placed on the President's List. Students who achieve a 3.7 GPA or better on the same basis are placed on the Dean's List.

At graduation, students who have earned at least 50% of their credit at Georgia Piedmont Technical College are eligible for honors recognition based on their GPA:

• 3.70-3.84: Graduation with honors
• 3.85-3.94: Graduation with high honors
• 3.95-4.00: Graduation with highest honors

Transfer credit awarded for a course completed at another college is recorded with the symbol TR. Credits earned at other institutions are not used in calculating a student's cumulative GPA at Georgia Piedmont Technical College.
