San Francisco State University (SF State) GPA Calculator

San Francisco State University grades coursework on the standard A-F scale. Letter grades B, C, and D may take a plus or minus suffix, and A may take a minus but not a plus; the grade of A+ is not used.

Some courses may be taken Credit/No Credit (CR/NC) instead of a letter grade. CR and NC do not carry grade points.

Other grading symbols include I (Incomplete Authorized), RP (Report in Progress), RD (Report Delayed), W (Withdrawal), and AU (Audit); none of these carry grade-point credit. IC (Incomplete Charged) and WU (Withdrawal Unauthorized) are each treated as equivalent to F and are counted toward the GPA.

Grade point average is determined by dividing total grade points earned by total units attempted in courses in which A-F grades are assigned.

Undergraduate students may repeat up to 16 units of SF State coursework under the Course Repeat Policy to exclude the original grade from GPA determination; the lower of the two grades is forgiven, applied automatically at the end of each term. Forgiveness does not apply to courses where the original grade followed a finding of academic dishonesty, and has been in effect since the end of fall 2017 (not retroactive).

Undergraduate students with a 2.0 GPA or better are in good academic standing. Students whose SF State and/or combined cumulative GPA falls below 2.0 are placed on academic notice.

Undergraduate students become subject to academic disqualification if their term GPA is below 2.0 and their SF State and/or combined cumulative GPA falls below: 1.50 as a freshman (fewer than 30 units), 1.70 as a sophomore (30-59 units), 1.85 as a junior (60-89 units), or 1.95 as a senior (90 or more units).
