Prince George's Community College (PGCC) GPA Calculator

Both the semester GPA and the cumulative GPA are calculated at the end of each term and shown on the official transcript. Grades earned in math and English corequisite support classes and English for Academic Purposes (EAP) classes are not part of the GPA calculation, since students earn Equivalent Hours (EH) instead of credits for these courses.

Grades of H (Audit), I (Incomplete), NA (Never Attended), P (Passing, nongraded course), and W (Withdrawal) are not used in the GPA calculation. FX (failure due to ceased attendance) is treated the same as F.

When a course is repeated, the original grade stays on the transcript but no longer counts toward attempted credits or the cumulative GPA; the newest grade is normally the one used for that course, unless the newest attempt was a W or NA.

Cumulative GPA is recomputed at the end of each fall, spring, and summer semester to determine academic standing. Students who have attempted more than 20 credit hours must maintain the following minimum cumulative GPA:

Students who fall below the minimum are placed on Academic Warning, then Academic Restriction, then Academic Dismissal if a 2.00 semester GPA is not achieved at each stage.

Associate degrees (A.A., A.S., A.A.S., A.A.T.) require a minimum of 60 credit hours, with at least 15 credits earned at Prince George's Community College. No more than 30 credits may be earned through nontraditional learning modes, and no more than 15 of those through portfolio assessment or challenge exams. An overall GPA of at least 2.00 is required for all courses taken at the College (A.A.T. programs may have different minimum GPA requirements). Certificate programs likewise require an overall GPA of at least 2.00 and at least 15 credit hours earned at the College.

The Dean's List is published each semester for students, full or part time, who have completed at least 12 college-level credit hours at PGCC with a GPA of 3.50 or above.

Associate degree recipients are recognized with graduation honors based on overall GPA: With Honor (3.50-3.69), With High Honor (3.70-3.94), and With Highest Honor (3.95 or higher). Certificate students are not eligible for these honors designations.

While transferred credit may count toward degree requirements, grades earned in courses transferred from other institutions are not used in the calculation of the cumulative GPA and are not reflected in total credits earned at Prince George's Community College.
