Grading System at Grayson College
Grayson College uses a letter-grade system on a 0.00–4.00 scale: A (4 grade points per semester hour), B (3), C (2), D (1), and F (0). There is no A+ or other plus/minus variant.
Several other notations appear on GC transcripts but carry no grade points and are not counted in your GPA: I (Incomplete), W (Withdrew), P (Passing), S (Satisfactory, non-degree courses), U (Unsatisfactory, non-degree courses), AU (Audit), and T_ transfer-credit grades (TA/TB/TC/TD).

How Grayson College Calculates GPA
The GPA is computed by dividing the total number of grade points earned by the total number of semester hours attempted. Grades of I, W, P, S, U, AU, and F earned in pass/fail courses are excluded from GPA calculation, as are grades earned in developmental courses.
Effective the 2020-2021 academic year, when a course is repeated, only the highest grade is used in the cumulative GPA, although all attempts remain listed on the transcript.

Academic Standing
A student is in good academic standing with a cumulative GPA of 2.00 or higher. A student is placed on Academic Warning when the cumulative GPA falls below 2.00 for one long semester, and on Academic Probation when it remains below 2.00 for more than one long semester.

President's and Dean's Lists
Grayson College's President's List and Dean's List are awarded at the end of the fall and spring semesters to students enrolled in at least 12 hours at GC that semester. The President's List requires a 4.0 GPA; the Dean's List requires a 3.75–3.99 GPA. Developmental courses, incomplete courses, credit awards, and courses graded W or P do not count toward the 12-hour full-time requirement for this honor.

Transfer and Credit-Award Grades
Transfer credit is recorded with a "T" prefix followed by the grade from the transferring institution (TA, TB, TC, TD); these grades are not calculated into Grayson College's cumulative GPA, though they are used in Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) calculations. Credit earned through credit award (including military credit award) is recorded as a grade of P, which carries no grade points and is not counted in the GPA.
