SAC uses several non-evaluative symbols that carry no grade points and are not counted in the GPA: Pass (at least equivalent to a "C"), NP (Not Passing, equivalent to a "D" or "F"), IP (In Progress, for classes extending beyond the term), RD (Report Delayed), W (Withdrawal), MW (Military Withdrawal), and EW (Excused Withdrawal).

Academic Renewal

Under Academic Renewal, up to 30 units of previously recorded substandard coursework may be alleviated. The coursework remains on the transcript but is annotated and excluded from the GPA. To qualify, the student's cumulative GPA at the time of the request must be at least 3.0 for 18 semester units, 2.5 for 24 units, or 2.0 for 30 units disregarded.

Academic and Progress Notice

A student is placed on Academic Notice after attempting at least 12 units with a cumulative GPA below 2.0, or on Progress Notice once at least 50% of attempted units carry W, I, NC, NP, and/or NPV. Notice clears once cumulative GPA reaches 2.0 or higher (Academic Notice) or the W/I/NC/NP/NPV percentage drops below 50% (Progress Notice). After three consecutive semesters of Notice, a student is placed on Pause for at least one semester, appealable through the Counseling Department. Restart after a Pause requires a Counseling Department request and a counseling-intervention contract.

Frequently asked questions

Can I save my semesters and track my CGPA at Mt.SAC?
Yes. After you calculate a semester's GPA, click "Save as semester" to add it to the built-in CGPA tracker, which then computes your cumulative GPA across every saved semester using the standard weighted formula (Σ SGPA × credits ÷ Σ credits). You can save semesters by course (full breakdown) or quick-add a past semester with just the SGPA and credit hours. Locking, renaming, and deleting saved semesters are all supported, and the tracker shows a running CGPA plus a trend arrow versus your previous semester.
How do I convert SGPA to CGPA at Mt.SAC?
Your CGPA is the credit-weighted average of every semester's SGPA. The formula is: CGPA = (SGPA₁ × credits₁ + SGPA₂ × credits₂ + … + SGPAₙ × creditsₙ) ÷ (credits₁ + credits₂ + … + creditsₙ). On this page, add each semester to the CGPA tracker (either by course or as a quick SGPA + credit-hours entry) and the calculator runs the conversion for you on every save, edit, and delete — no manual arithmetic required.
Can I add past semester GPAs without entering every course?
Yes. On the My CGPA Tracker tab, click "Add semester" and choose the quick-add option. You enter just the SGPA and the credit hours for that semester — no course-by-course breakdown required. It works as a GPA calculator with previous semesters support, or as a GPA calculator without course details when you only remember the SGPA from your transcript. Quick-added and course-by-course semesters can be mixed freely; both contribute to your CGPA using the same credit-weighted formula.
Is my CGPA tracker data sent to your servers?
No. Your saved semesters are stored locally in your browser only — nothing is transmitted to GPAWise. A "Clear all tracker data" button is always available on the tracker tab to wipe the data on demand.
Is this Mt. San Antonio College (Mt.SAC) GPA calculator free?
Yes — GPAWise is completely free to use. There's no signup, no paywall, and your inputs stay in your browser.
