Northeast State Community College (NeSCC) GPA Calculator

Your scholastic standing is expressed as a quality point ratio: total quality points earned divided by total semester hours attempted, less any hours you repeat. To meet degree requirements, you must maintain an overall 2.0 GPA.

Grades of IP (In Progress, learning-support courses), S and N (satisfactory/unacceptable), W (withdrawal), and AU (audit) are not computed in your overall GPA. You may take no more than 8 hours of coursework graded S/N.

If you repeat a course in which you earned a C or lower, your most recent grade replaces all previous grades for GPA, academic standing, and graduation purposes. Repeating a course in which you earned a B or higher requires approval from the Vice President for Academic Affairs.

If your cumulative GPA (including any learning-support courses) for the hours you've attempted falls below 2.0 at the end of any term, you're placed on academic probation for the following term.

While on probation, you must, by the end of your next term, either reach the minimum cumulative retention standard or earn a 2.0 GPA for that term — meeting the term GPA alone lets you continue under probation. Failing both results in academic suspension for one term (summer doesn't count). Suspended students may appeal to the Admissions Subcommittee of the Academic Affairs Committee, citing extenuating circumstances.

To earn an Associate of Arts, Associate of Science, Associate of Applied Science, or Associate of Science in Teaching degree (or a certificate), you must: complete a minimum of 60 college-level semester hours (or the required hours for a certificate); earn at least a 2.0 GPA; complete at least 25% of your credit hours at Northeast State; and fulfill all program-specific requirements in the catalog.

You may graduate under the requirements of the catalog in effect when you first enrolled, provided you graduate within six years of that enrollment.

Associate-degree graduates are recognized by final cumulative GPA: Summa Cum Laude (3.9–4.0), Magna Cum Laude (3.75–3.89), and Cum Laude (3.5–3.74). Learning-support GPA doesn't count toward semester or graduation honors.

Each fall and spring term, students completing at least 12 college-level semester hours with a 4.0 GPA are named to the President's Academic Honors List; those with a 3.50–3.99 GPA are named to the Vice President's Academic Honors List.

Northeast State Honors requires a 3.25 GPA (after 12 college-level hours, or an ACT composite of 25 / SAT combined 1140 as an entering freshman) to join and to continue; graduates who complete 18 Honors hours at a 3.25 GPA or higher receive honors recognition on their diploma.

Transfer credits used to satisfy Northeast State's degree requirements are not averaged with your Northeast State GPA to calculate your graduation average.

Transfer credit hours and quality points also do not count toward the GPA used for academic probation and dismissal decisions.
