How grades work at LLCC
LLCC grades on a 4.0 scale with five letter grades: A (4.00), B (3.00), C (2.00), D (1.00), and F (0.00). There is no A+ and no plus/minus grading at all — A itself, at 4.00, is the top of the scale.
Several marks appear on your transcript but carry no grade points and are not counted in your GPA: P (Satisfactory completion), W (Withdraw), I (Incomplete), and SP (Satisfactory progress, developmental courses). AU (Audit), AP (Advanced Placement, minimum equivalent grade C), CL (CLEP – does not satisfy the lab science requirement for BIO 101, CHE 101, or ASD 101), PR (Proficiency), and TR (Transfer Credit, minimum equivalent grade C) likewise carry no grade-point value.

How your GPA is calculated at LLCC
Your GPA is the total grade points earned (each grade's point value × the course's credit hours) divided by the total credits attempted, carried out two places past the decimal. For example, a B in a 4-credit course earns 3 × 4 = 12 grade points.
Grades earned in developmental courses (such as EGL 100) after Aug. 1, 1986 are excluded from your grade point average, even though they use the same A–F scale.
