Northampton Community College (NCC) GPA Calculator

Northampton Community College uses a plus/minus grading system; using plus/minus grades is optional for faculty, not a requirement. Final grades are posted each semester in Workday. Mid-semester progress grades are issued only for Fall and Spring 14-week courses, using S (Satisfactory) or U (Unsatisfactory) rather than a final letter grade.

A grade of P (Pass) has no impact on the GPA; a course or series of courses may be designated Pass/Fail by a department if approved by the Academic Policy Committee. When a course is repeated, the grading system marks one attempt as excluded from the cumulative GPA and the other as included, so only one attempt's grade counts toward the GPA at a time.

A student is in Good Standing when the cumulative GPA is 2.0 or higher. Students below the Good Standing threshold for their attempted-credit tier are placed on Academic Notice, Academic Warning, or Academic Suspension:

Students on Academic Warning for more than four consecutive semesters are placed on Academic Suspension. A suspended student may continue enrollment by initiating the Alternative to Academic Suspension process, which requires achieving a semester GPA of at least 2.0 to continue.

Eligibility to graduate with a certificate, diploma, or degree requires a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0 in all coursework applicable toward graduation.
