Los Medanos College (LMC) GPA Calculator

GPA is calculated from units attempted with a letter grade of A, B, C, D, or F. "Units enrolled" additionally include W, I, P, and NP for progress tracking, but P and NP do not affect the GPA. Non-degree-applicable course grades are not included in calculating the GPA for a degree.

When a course is repeated to alleviate a substandard grade (D, F, or NC/NP), the previous grade is disregarded when computing the GPA — though it stays on the transcript with a notation that the course was repeated. An approved Academic Renewal similarly removes substandard (D, F, NC/NP) units from the cumulative GPA without deleting them from the record.

Students are placed on Academic Alert when cumulative GPA falls under 2.0 with 12 or more cumulative units attempted, and are removed once cumulative GPA reaches 2.0 or better. Academic Dismissal follows three consecutive semesters of Academic Alert, unless the most recent semester's GPA is 2.0 or higher.

Reinstatement after Alert II or Dismissal status requires, among other steps, earning a minimum term GPA of 2.0 or better with no grade below C (including NP, I, or W).

Full-time students achieving a term GPA of 3.0 or better in 12 or more graded units in a fall or spring term are named to the Dean's List for that term (not offered in summer); students approved for a Reduced Course Load of 6 or more graded units qualify the same way.

Graduation with Honors is recognized for an overall GPA of 3.5 or better across all coursework applied to the degree at the time of graduation, noted on the student's record, diploma, and graduation program.

LMC accepts credit from institutions accredited by one of the eight regional accrediting associations, or per American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers recommendations; transcripts are evaluated on request by Admissions & Records.

Credit is also available for verified military training/service, Advanced Placement exam scores (per the college's published AP credit chart), credit-by-examination for designated courses, and articulated high-school coursework.
