How GPA Is Calculated
San Jacinto College calculates earned grade points by multiplying a course's credit hours by the grade point value of the grade received. The GPA is the total grade points earned divided by the total term hours completed in unduplicated courses graded A, B, C, D, F, or FX.
- Only courses completed at San Jacinto College count toward the GPA.
- For a repeated course, only the highest grade earned counts toward the cumulative GPA.
- Grades of I (Incomplete), W (Withdrawal), and WL (Withdrawal within Limit) are neutral and are not included in any GPA.

Does the Nursing program use a different grading scale?
Yes. Students enrolled in the Associate Degree Nursing AAS (3NUR-ADN) or the Nursing LVN/Paramedic to RN Transition Nursing AAS (3NUR-LNTRN or 3NUR-PMTRN) use a separate grade range: A 90-100, B 80-89, C 75-79, D 70-74, and F below 70. This differs from the general grade range (C 70-79, D 60-69, F below 60) in where the C, D, and F bands fall, though the grade point values (4, 3, 2, 1, 0) are the same. This calculator uses the general grade range that applies to non-Nursing programs.
