Malcolm X College (MXC) GPA Calculator

City Colleges of Chicago uses different grading bases depending on course type. Remedial, Credit, and Skills classes use the standard A–F scale on a 4.0 basis. Foundational Studies and Continuing Education classes are graded S (Satisfactory) or F (Failure), with no numeric point value attached. Adult Education classes use P (completed requirements, ready to advance), R (requirements not yet met, repeat at the same level), or F (failed to meet requirements), also with no numeric point value.

Graduation GPA (GRAD-GPA) is calculated from all credit hours and grades "A" through "F" earned in the Credit Career, with two exceptions: only the last credit hours and grade earned in an Allowed Repeatable Courses (ARC) sequence count, up to the allowable maximum repeats, and for other repeated courses only the last grade earned counts. Pre-college (remedial) coursework is excluded from GRAD-GPA. Cumulative GPA (CUM-GPA) is calculated the same way but includes pre-college coursework.

Students who earn a "D" or "F" in a course may repeat it; students who earn "C" or better may repeat it once.

To graduate from any credit degree or certificate program, students must earn a grade of "C" or better in all courses used to satisfy core curriculum and/or general education requirements, and hold a GRAD-GPA of 2.0 or higher. Elective courses with a final grade of "D" may still count toward graduation. Students who graduated before August 1, 2013 needed either a GRAD-GPA or CUM-GPA of 2.0 or higher.

Degree Honors, awarded on Graduation GPA (or the higher of Graduation/Cumulative GPA for students who graduated before August 1, 2013): High Honors at 3.5 or higher, Honors at 3.0–3.49.

Term-Based Honors, for full-time students completing at least 12 credit hours in a term, based on term GPA: Honors List at 3.0–3.49, Dean's List at 3.5–3.99, Presidential Scholars List at 4.0.
