Grades not counted toward GPA
Several marks carry no quality points and are not used in computing the cumulative GPA: W (Withdrawal), P (Passing, for discretionary pass/fail courses and for credit from military service or Prior Learning Assessments), and I (Incomplete) while outstanding. FA (Failure, Attendance based) is recorded when a student fails a course and the last date of attendance was not more than two-thirds of the course length. An Incomplete not resolved by the deadline set in the following term automatically converts to F.

Frequently asked questions
Can I save my semesters and track my CGPA at RSCC?
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 RSCC?
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 Roane State Community College (RSCC) GPA calculator free?
Yes — GPAWise is completely free to use. There's no signup, no paywall, and your inputs stay in your browser.
Does the standard grading scale apply to every program?
No. Roane State's catalog states that the general A-F percentage scale applies to most courses, but students enrolled in Allied Health Sciences or Nursing programs may not follow the same scale -- those programs set their grading scale on a per-course basis in the course syllabus. No centrally published Allied Health/Nursing scale was located, so this calculator uses the general institution-wide scale published in the catalog.
