Rowan-Cabarrus Community College (RCCC) GPA Calculator

Rowan-Cabarrus Community College (RCCC) operates on a grade-point system, and each student's academic standing is established by a Grade-Point Average (GPA) under the College's Grading Standards Procedure (B600.00.50.01.BB). Final grades are posted each semester via My Navigator.

Health programs (Associate Degree Nursing, Practical Nursing, Dental Assisting, Radiography, Occupational Therapy Assistant, and Physical Therapist Assistant) are graded on a variation of this scale, with minimum-grade requirements for admission and progression set by each program's own handbook. Developmental Studies courses are noncredit and excluded from the GPA: effective Fall 2025, a final average of 70 or above is required for satisfactory completion; below 70 results in a grade of F and the course must be repeated.

Several grade notations carry no quality points and are not used in calculating the cumulative GPA: W (Withdraw, on or before the 65% point of the semester), WE (Withdraw Emergency, during a declared emergency), AU (Audit/No Credit Earned), CE (Credit by Examination), and TR/XT (External Transfer Credit, which does count toward graduation requirements even though it is excluded from the GPA).

Grade appeals: a student must raise a disputed grade with the instructor within 5 business days of posting, or it stands. Instructor and student then have 5 business days to reach an informal resolution before a formal review may be requested.

Credit earned through External Transfer Credit (TR/XT) is not computed in the GPA but is counted toward graduation requirements. Academic credit is not earned for audited coursework, so audited courses are not eligible for transfer credit toward any other RCCC program or to another institution.
