Olive-Harvey College GPA Calculator

City Colleges of Chicago (CCC) calculates two GPA figures. Graduation GPA (GRAD-GPA) is based on all credit hours and grades earned in the Credit Career, excluding pre-college (remedial) coursework, transfer credit, credit by assessment or standardized examination. Cumulative GPA (CUM-GPA) is calculated the same way but includes remedial coursework. Satisfactory (S) and Unsatisfactory (U) grades are never included in either GPA.

• Repeating a course to improve a grade: only the last credit hours and grade earned are used in the GPA calculation, even if the last grade is not the highest one earned for that course.
• Students who earn a "D" or "F" may repeat a course; students who earn a "C" or better may repeat it only once without Academic Vice President approval.
• Transfer credit cannot be used to exclude CCC grades from a student's GPA calculation.

A student must maintain a Cumulative Grade Point Average (CUM-GPA) of 2.0 or higher to remain in good Academic Standing.

To graduate from any credit degree program, a student must earn a grade of "C" or better in all courses used to satisfy core curriculum and/or general education requirements, and hold a minimum Graduation GPA (GRAD-GPA) of 2.0 or higher. Elective courses with a final grade of "D" or "S" may still count towards graduation. Students who graduated prior to August 1, 2013 needed either a minimum GRAD-GPA or CUM-GPA of 2.0 or higher.

Full-time students (12+ credit hours in a term) are awarded scholastic honors based on their term grade point average:

• Honor's List: 3.0 – 3.49
• Dean's List: 3.5 – 3.99
• Presidential Scholars List: 4.0

Associate Degree graduates are awarded scholastic honors based on their Graduation GPA (for students who graduated before August 1, 2013, the higher of Graduation GPA or Cumulative GPA is used):

• Honors: 3.0 – 3.49
• High Honors: 3.5 or higher

Courses from other institutions accredited by one of the six regional accreditors are evaluated for transfer only where a final grade of "C" (including "C-") or higher was earned. Accepted transfer credit appears on the academic record and may count towards graduation, subject to certain limits, but it is excluded from both the Graduation GPA (GRAD-GPA) and Cumulative GPA (CUM-GPA) calculations — transfer credit is never used to exclude a CCC grade from a student's GPA.
