San Joaquin Delta College (SJDC) GPA Calculator

Some credit courses may be offered with a Pass/No Pass option instead of a traditional letter grade. A grade of "Pass" is given if the student's work is judged equivalent to a grade of A, B, or C; "No Pass" if it is judged equivalent to a failing grade. Neither Pass nor No Pass counts toward the GPA.

• No more than 15 units of Pass/No Pass coursework may apply toward the total units required for a degree, and a Pass/No Pass course may not be used to satisfy an academic major requirement.
• Students must declare the Pass/No Pass option to the instructor before 30% of the term's scheduled class meetings have elapsed, and cannot switch back to a letter grade once elected.

Non-degree-applicable courses are not included in the GPA. When the same course is repeated to alleviate a substandard grade ("D," "F," "FW," "NP," or "NC"), the previous grade and credit are disregarded in computing the GPA rather than averaged in — no more than two substandard grades may be alleviated this way. Academic renewal works similarly at a larger scale: up to 40 units of previous substandard coursework ("D," "F," "FW," "NC," or "NP") can be petitioned for renewal after completing at least 6 further units with a 2.0 GPA, and renewed coursework is excluded from the cumulative GPA on the permanent record.

A student is placed on Academic Probation after attempting at least 12 semester units with a cumulative GPA below 2.0, and is removed once the cumulative GPA reaches 2.0 or higher. A student is placed on Progress Probation once at least 12 semester units have been attempted and "W," "I," "NC," and "NP" entries reach 50% or more of units enrolled.

A student who remains on Academic or Progress Probation for three consecutive semesters (excluding summer intersession) is dismissed for one semester. Reinstatement after academic dismissal requires completing the reinstated semester with a term GPA of at least 2.0, with enrollment capped at 12 units that semester; failing to do so results in dismissal again.

Students completing 12 or more graded units in a semester with a GPA of 3.0 or above earn scholastic distinction for that term — a GPA of 3.7 or above earns President's Honor List, and 3.0 to 3.69 earns Dean's Honor List.
