Modesto Junior College (MJC) GPA Calculator

In addition to letter grades A–F, MJC uses these symbols, none of which carry grade points or count toward the GPA:

• P — Pass, at least satisfactory (A, B, C)
• NP — No Pass, less than satisfactory or failing (D, F)
• IA/IB/IC/ID/IF — Incomplete, with the letter indicating the grade to be recorded if the work is not completed in the allotted time
• IP — In Progress
• IPP — Incomplete Pass (A, B, C)
• INP — Incomplete No Pass (D, F)
• W — Withdrawn
• SP — Satisfactory Progress (noncredit courses only)
• MW — Military Withdrawal
• EW — Excused Withdrawal

To calculate a student's GPA: (1) assign a numerical value to each grade received (A=4; B=3; C=2; D=1; F=0); (2) multiply the grade value by the number of units in the class to get grade points; (3) divide total grade points by total units attempted.

Courses graded W, P, or NP are excluded from the calculation, as are courses repeated under academic renewal (signified “R” and “AR”). Substandard grades (D, F, FW, NP, NC) may later be disregarded from the GPA computation under MJC's academic renewal policy (at least one year elapsed, minimum subsequent units and GPA thresholds met, up to 24 units eliminated, irreversible) — the coursework stays on the record but drops out of the GPA math.

A student is in good standing when their cumulative MJC GPA is 2.0 or better and fewer than 50% of attempted units carry W, I, NP, or NC.

A student is placed on academic notice after attempting at least 12 semester units with a cumulative GPA below 2.0, and subject to a one-year pause if the GPA stays below 2.0 in each of three consecutive semesters.

A student is placed on progress notice after enrolling in at least 12 semester units with 50% or more graded W, I, or NP, and subject to a one-year pause if that rate stays at 50% or more in each of three consecutive semesters.

To graduate and to transfer to other collegiate institutions, a student must have at least a C average (2.0), based on total grade points earned in degree-applicable courses completed at MJC and other colleges divided by total units attempted.

Students graduate with honors, noted on the transcript and diploma, with a cumulative GPA of 3.5 or higher in all degree-applicable coursework, including transfer work.

The President's List (formerly Dean's List) requires completing at least 12 degree-applicable units in a semester at MJC with a GPA of 3.5 or better and no grade lower than a C; students receive a personal letter of commendation.
