Portland Community College (PCC) GPA Calculator

Most PCC credit courses use the standard A-F letter grade system, though some courses instead default to (or allow switching to) a Pass/No Pass option, chosen by each course's Subject Area Committee. PCC does not use plus/minus grading (no A+, A-, B+, etc.). Students may change between the A-F and Pass/No Pass grade options for an eligible course prior to the course's withdrawal deadline by completing the official process.

GPA is calculated by dividing total grade points earned (credits multiplied by quality point value) by total credits attempted, and is computed on PCC grades only. Pass (P) and No Pass (NP) grades, and all other marks (I, W, CIP, AUD, E, NR, X, R, SC, NSC, CM, PR, N, L, UP), carry no quality points and are excluded from the GPA calculation. When a course is repeated, only the highest grade counts toward GPA and total credits earned; other attempts are marked 'E' (Excluded) on the transcript, except that once a repeat limit is exceeded the oldest grade is excluded instead.

Students planning to transfer should be aware that other colleges and universities often restrict how many Pass/No Pass or repeated courses they will accept, independent of PCC's own GPA treatment of those courses.
