How grading works at North Idaho College

NIC uses one common grading scale for all courses, running from A (4.0) down to F (0.0), with plus/minus grades in between (A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C, C-, D+, D, D-) — there's no A+.

Some marks carry no grade points and aren't counted in your GPA: W (withdrawal), S (satisfactory, for designated courses), U (unsatisfactory), and NG (no grade). An S requires work of at least C (2.0) quality.

An incomplete (I) is only given if you were attending and doing passing work within three weeks of the semester's end. It must be resolved within six weeks after the first class day of the following term (excluding summer), or it converts to whatever permanent grade your instructor specified in writing when the incomplete was assigned.

How your GPA is calculated at NIC

Grades of W, S, or U are excluded from your GPA calculation entirely — they don't raise or lower your average either way.

The GPA floor for an NIC degree

An Associate's degree (AA/AS) typically requires the equivalent of two years of full-time study, a minimum of 60 semester credits of 100- and 200-level courses, and a cumulative GPA of 2.00.

An Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degree carries the same 60-credit and 2.00 cumulative GPA requirement, designed to lead directly to employment in a specific field.

Frequently asked questions

Can I save my semesters and track my CGPA at NIC?
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 NIC?
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 North Idaho College (NIC) GPA calculator free?
Yes — GPAWise is completely free to use. There's no signup, no paywall, and your inputs stay in your browser.
Does the common grading scale apply to every NIC program?

Almost all — but consortium programs are the exception. Policy 5.04 states that consortium programs publish their own grade scale in program handbooks provided to students in those programs, and are exempt from NIC's common grading scale.
