Jefferson Community and Technical College (JCTC) GPA Calculator

The cumulative GPA is the ratio of total grade points earned to total credit hours attempted, excluding courses taken on a pass/fail basis and courses graded W, I, or IP. Total grade points equal credit hours multiplied by the grade points assigned to the grade earned: A = 4, B = 3, C = 2, D = 1, E = 0.

Repeating a course: the highest grade earned in a completed course is the only grade included in the cumulative GPA, though credit counts only once toward a credential.

Academic Bankruptcy: a student readmitted after two or more years away who completes at least 12 college-level credit hours with a 2.0 GPA or better after readmission may elect to exclude all prior coursework from the GPA calculation, though credit for prior A, B, C, D, or P grades is retained. This option may be used only once.

A student earning a cumulative GPA below 2.0 at the end of a term is placed on academic probation, and is removed from probation by earning at least a 2.0 cumulative GPA.

A student on academic probation for two consecutive terms who fails to earn at least a 2.0 cumulative or term GPA in the third term is academically suspended and may not enroll in courses counting toward a KCTCS credential.

A suspended student may be reinstated, on academic probation, after remaining out of the college for at least one 16-week semester (two 16-week semesters after a second suspension) and providing evidence of ability to perform at the required level.

A minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0 is required for the Associate in Arts, Associate in Science, Associate in Fine Arts, and Associate in Applied Science degrees, and for diplomas. Certificates require a GPA of at least 2.0 in the courses required for the certificate.

Students must complete at least 25 percent of the approved curriculum credits at the KCTCS college granting the credential.

Dean's List: awarded for an overall semester GPA of 3.5 or higher in courses numbered 100 or above.

Graduation honors: students who have completed at least 45 credit hours toward a degree (or 30 credit hours toward a diploma) graduate "With High Distinction" with a GPA of 3.60 or higher on all work attempted, or "With Distinction" with a GPA of 3.40–3.59.
