Lee College GPA Calculator

Grade Point Average (GPA) is determined by dividing a student's total number of grade points by their total number of semester credit hours (SCH) attempted. Grade points are not awarded in developmental courses, and grades earned in developmental courses are not included in the computation of GPAs. Transfer hours count toward hours attempted but are not included in the computation of cumulative GPA.

When a student repeats a course, total attempted SCH stays the same and the grade from the most recent attempt is used in the GPA computation; the original grade remains on the student's permanent record.

Under state law, students may petition to have all courses attempted 10 or more years earlier disregarded when determining their cumulative GPA (Academic Fresh Start). This does not remove any grades from the transcript and may be invoked only once per student.

Academic status is re-evaluated at the start of each fall and spring term based on GPA.

• Academic Notice: semester GPA below 2.0 with a cumulative GPA still at or above 2.0 — a hold is placed on the account and a mandatory online resource workshop is required for hold removal.
• Academic Warning: cumulative GPA below 2.0 — hold on account until a cumulative GPA of 2.0 is achieved, enrollment limited to 1-2 courses, and a mandatory advisor meeting to set an action plan.
• Academic Suspension: semester GPA below 2.0 while already on Academic Warning — the student must sit out one long semester (including summer), the account hold continues until cumulative GPA reaches 2.0, and enrollment remains limited to 1-2 courses on return.

Associate degrees require completion of at least 60 semester credit hours with a cumulative Lee College GPA of 2.0 or higher, with at least 25% of the required hours earned at Lee College.

Certificates require the minimum semester hours set for the certificate with a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher, with at least 50% of the required hours earned at Lee College.

Students within 3-9 SCHs of completing an associate degree may petition to participate in commencement as "future graduates" if their overall GPA is 2.5 or higher.

Students in associate degree programs may graduate with honors if they complete at least 50% of their degree's coursework at Lee College with an overall GPA of 3.5 or better. Honors designations announced at commencement:

• Summa Cum Laude: 3.86 to 4.00
• Magna Cum Laude: 3.75 to 3.85
• Cum Laude: 3.5 to 3.74

Grade points earned at other institutions are not transferred to Lee College; a student's cumulative GPA is based solely on grades earned at Lee College. Courses in which a student earned a grade of "D," "F," or "Incomplete" will not be accepted as transfer credit. Transfer hours are counted toward hours attempted but are not included in the computation of cumulative GPA.
