Molloy University GPA Calculator

A student's cumulative GPA (the "index") equals the total quality points earned divided by the total credit hours for which quality points were received.

Students may repeat a maximum of four different courses. The most recent letter grade earned counts toward the cumulative GPA and degree requirements; prior grades remain on the transcript and in the term GPA for the semester recorded, but are excluded from the cumulative GPA.

An Incomplete ("I") is computed as a failing grade until resolved, and automatically converts to an F if the coursework is not completed by the last day of the following semester.

A student who previously withdrew with an unsatisfactory GPA and has been absent at least three years may apply for a "Fresh Start": prior grades and grade points remain on the transcript and in the term GPA, but Fresh Start grade points are excluded from the cumulative GPA, though the earned credits still count toward cumulative earned hours.

Undergraduate students must maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0 to be in "good academic standing"; individual programs may set higher requirements.

A student is placed on academic probation when the cumulative GPA falls below 2.0 for the prior semester, and may remain on probation for up to two consecutive semesters while working to return to 2.0 or higher.

Continued failure to improve while on probation may lead to academic suspension or dismissal. A suspended student may petition to return as a non-matriculated student; a dismissed student is not eligible for readmission.

Students may appeal a probation, suspension, or dismissal decision in writing within ten days of receiving notice.

The minimum cumulative GPA required for undergraduate graduation is 2.0 (3.0 for Education majors). A minimum grade of "D" is required in General Education courses, and a minimum grade of "C" is required in courses used to fulfill major and minor requirements (some programs require higher).

The last 30 credits toward graduation must normally be completed at Molloy.

The Dean's List of Distinguished Full-Time Students requires a minimum semester scholastic index of 3.60, with at least 12 credit hours taken for letter grades; a student who receives an Incomplete is not eligible for that semester.

Degree distinction at graduation (minimum 60 letter-graded credits earned at Molloy) is awarded by cumulative index: Cum Laude at 3.60 or better, Magna Cum Laude at 3.75 or better, and Summa Cum Laude at 3.90 or better.

Credit for courses taken at another institution while matriculated at Molloy (with prior permission) is accepted only for a grade of "C" or better; a "P" grade is accepted only if the other institution designates it as equivalent to "C" or better. A student's major department may require a higher grade for the course to count toward the major. Transfer credit totals are limited to the totals defined in Molloy's transfer policies.
