How GPA Is Calculated
GPA is calculated by dividing the sum of earned quality points by the sum of attempted credit hours (credits enrolled at census). Both a term GPA (most recent semester only) and a cumulative GPA (entire OCC academic history) are calculated after each semester.
If a course is repeated, only the highest earned grade counts toward the GPA, though all graded attempts remain on the transcript. Only courses repeated at OCC affect the GPA.

Transfer Credit and GPA
Only courses taken at OCC are used to calculate the GPA. Transfer credit and credit for prior learning do not impact the GPA.

Does OCC use a different grading scale for any programs?
Yes. Nursing courses use a separate letter-grade system — EM (Exceeds Mastery), M+ (Mastery+), M (Mastery), M- (Mastery-), and NM (Non-Mastery) — each carrying its own quality points (4.0, 3.5, 3.0, 1.0, and 0.0 respectively). This calculator applies OCC's general A-F quality-point scale and does not cover the Nursing-specific scale.
