North Dakota State University (NDSU) GPA Calculator

Semester (or term) GPA is the grade-point average for a single grading period; cumulative or institutional GPA is the composite grade-point average for all courses and grading periods completed at NDSU. Institutional cumulative GPA is calculated by dividing the total honor points earned at NDSU by the total credit hours in which honor points were recorded, including grades of 'F'.

• Developmental coursework is excluded from GPA calculations and does not count toward graduation requirements.
• Coursework and grades accepted in transfer are not included in the institutional cumulative GPA and are not used to determine academic standing.
• Pass-fail grading is available for undergraduate courses, but may not be used for general education requirements unless a course is offered only on a pass/fail basis. Students are limited to a total of 16 credits under the pass/fail option (courses offered only pass/fail for all students are not counted toward this limit).
• A grade of 'P' carries no honor points and is not included in the GPA computation; a grade of 'F' earned under the pass/fail option is still included in the GPA computation.
• A failing ('F') grade may not be removed by special examination. Credit for a failed course may be earned by repeating it with a satisfactory grade at NDSU (including via the Metro College Alliance) or with an equivalent transfer course from another regionally accredited institution.

Students are not allowed to graduate with grades of Incomplete on their academic record. Upon graduation, any unconverted Incomplete automatically converts to a grade of 'F'. If a course required for graduation carries an Incomplete, the instructor may extend the completion deadline under the standard procedures, and graduation is postponed accordingly.
