Jefferson State Community College (JSCC) GPA Calculator

Beyond the standard letter grades, Jefferson State recognizes several non-graded designations that carry no quality points and are not averaged into the GPA:

• W — Withdrawal
• WP — Withdrawal Passing
• I — Incomplete. Must be completed by the beginning of the 12th week of the following fall or spring semester (or the 7th week of a summer term), or the grade converts to an F.
• AU — Audit. Must be declared by the end of the registration period and cannot be changed afterward; audited hours are not averaged into the GPA.
• RW — Required Withdrawal

Jefferson State computes GPA by dividing the total number of quality points earned by the total number of semester hours for which grades of A, B, C, D, or F were assigned.

A repeated course is counted as many times as grades were recorded for it, unless the student submits a Request for Course Forgiveness form to Enrollment Services for the first repeat of a course.

Required cumulative GPA rises with hours attempted at Jefferson State: 1.5 at 12–21 attempted hours, 1.75 at 22–32 hours, and 2.0 at 33 or more hours. Programs subject to external licensure, certification, or accreditation, or shorter than four semesters, may set higher standards than these institutional minimums.

A student falling below the required GPA is placed on Academic Probation. Continued shortfall leads to a One Semester Academic Suspension and, after a further shortfall following suspension, a One Calendar Year Academic Suspension. A suspended student may request readmission by submitting a College Policies Complaints/Appeals Form.

A student must earn a cumulative grade-point average of 2.00 (C) on all Jefferson State coursework to be eligible for graduation.

A grade of D counts as satisfactory progress at Jefferson State, but senior colleges and universities receiving a transfer transcript can refuse to grant credit for a course completed with a D.
