Los Angeles Valley College (LAVC) GPA Calculator

When a student repeats a course to alleviate a substandard grade ("D", "F", "FW", "NP", or "NC"), the previous grade and credit are disregarded when computing the cumulative grade-point average, and the highest grade earned is used instead. No more than two substandard grades may be alleviated this way. The student's permanent record is annotated so that all prior work remains legible.

A student is placed on Academic Probation after attempting at least 12 semester units with a grade-point average below 2.0 (a "C"). A student is placed on Progress Probation after enrolling in at least 12 semester units if the percentage of units recorded with "W" (Withdrawal), "I" (Incomplete), or "NP" (No Pass) reaches or exceeds 50%.

A student on academic probation is subject to dismissal after earning a cumulative GPA below 2.0 in each of 3 consecutive semesters. A student on progress probation is subject to dismissal if the cumulative percentage of units with "NP", "I", and/or "W" entries reaches or exceeds 50% over 3 consecutive semesters. A dismissed student must wait two major (fall/spring) semesters before petitioning for readmission.

A student is removed from academic probation once their cumulative GPA reaches 2.0 or higher.
