Hostos Community College GPA Calculator

Beyond the letter grades A through F, Hostos records several administrative and non-punitive notations on the transcript:

• AUD (Audit): no credit is given; audited courses do not count toward full-time or part-time status, financial aid, or veteran's benefits, and cannot be changed to a credit-bearing grade.
• INC (Incomplete): granted when course requirements are mostly met with a passing average; converts to FIN if not completed by the last day of classes of the following semester.
• W (Withdrawal without penalty): assigned when a student withdraws while doing passing work, prior to the last day of classes.
• WA: a non-punitive administrative withdrawal for students excluded from class for non-compliance with New York State's immunization law.
• R (Remedial): a non-punitive grade for developmental/remedial coursework, given when a student has not reached proficiency but met satisfactory enrollment, coursework, and progress standards; limited to one use per course (two for ESL 091/ENG 091/ENG 1399).
• P (Passing): assigned to SSD 1000 (Freshman Orientation) and COOP 101-103 (Cooperative Education).
• Z: an administrative placeholder recorded when an instructor has not submitted a grade.

Under a CUNY-wide policy effective September 1, 1990, an undergraduate who earns a grade of F, FIN, WU, or an administrative failing grade and later retakes the same course, earning a C or better, has the original failing grade excluded from the cumulative GPA (it remains on the transcript). Replacement is capped at 16 failing credits over a student's undergraduate enrollment across CUNY, does not apply to courses taken under e-Permit, and a student may opt out by notifying the Registrar's Office.

The GPA calculated under this replacement policy is used for retention, graduation, and admission to or continuance in a major. It is not used to calculate graduation honors, the Dean's List, or departmental honors at graduation.
