How Palo Verde College Calculates Your GPA

Palo Verde College computes the grade point average (GPA) by dividing all grade points received by all units attempted.

Some symbols are not counted in the GPA at all: P (Pass) and NP (No Pass) units are excluded, as are I (Incomplete), IP (In Progress), W (Withdrawal), MW (Military Withdrawal), and RD (Report Delayed).

A student may attempt a course a maximum of three times. When a substandard grade (D, F, FW, or NP) is repeated, the first (or first and second) substandard grade is excluded from the GPA, and only the grade from the third or final attempt is included.

Academic Notice, Progress Notice, and Pause

A student who has attempted 12 or more semester units is subject to Academic Notice if their cumulative GPA falls below 2.0. After being placed on Academic Notice, a student has one additional semester (three semesters total) to raise their cumulative GPA to 2.0 or higher.

A student is subject to Progress Notice when the percentage of units recorded as W, I, NP, or NC reaches or exceeds 50% of total units attempted.

A student on Academic Notice is subject to Pause if their cumulative GPA remains below 2.0 for three consecutive semesters. A student on Progress Notice is subject to Pause if their W/I/NP/NC percentage remains at or above 50% for three consecutive semesters. A student who has been paused must wait at least one semester before applying for Restart.

Frequently asked questions

Can I save my semesters and track my CGPA at PVC?
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 PVC?
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 Palo Verde College (PVC) GPA calculator free?
Yes — GPAWise is completely free to use. There's no signup, no paywall, and your inputs stay in your browser.
