Grading Symbols and Special Enrollment Statuses

In addition to traditional letter grades, SJSU uses several grading symbols for special enrollment statuses: CR (Credit), NC (No Credit), AU (Audit), I (Incomplete), IC (Incomplete Charged), RP (Report in Progress), RD (Report Delayed), W (Authorized Withdrawal), and WU (Withdrawal Unauthorized).

Eligible undergraduate students may elect Credit/No Credit grading for approved courses, subject to university limitations; it may not be used for coursework fulfilling major, minor, General Education, prerequisite, or other restricted requirements unless specifically authorized. Certain coursework (fieldwork, internships, projects, individual studies, directed reading, and similar offerings) may be graded exclusively Credit/No Credit.

  • Undergraduate: Credit = A through C-; No Credit = D+ through F, IC, or WU.
  • Graduate: Credit = A through B-; No Credit = C+ through F, IC, or WU. A grade of Credit in graduate coursework represents performance equivalent to a grade of B- or higher.

An Incomplete (I) may be assigned when a student cannot complete required coursework due to unforeseen, fully justified circumstances and there remains a possibility of earning credit. If the agreed work is not completed by the deadline, the Incomplete converts to Incomplete Charged (IC) or No Credit (NC), as applicable. Report Delayed (RD) is a temporary symbol used when grade reporting is delayed by circumstances beyond the student's control; Report in Progress (RP) is used for coursework that normally extends beyond a single term and converts to No Credit (NC) if not completed within university time limits.

Faculty are presumed to have assigned grades correctly; a grade may be changed only for an error in grading, calculation, transcription, or other administrative process, or through the university's grade appeal procedures (Student Fairness Dispute Resolution policy).

How Special Grading Symbols Affect Your GPA

Grading symbols other than standard letter grades do not carry grade points toward the GPA unless the university specifically states otherwise.

  • A W (Authorized Withdrawal) does not affect grade point average calculations and does not indicate the quality of academic performance.
  • A WU (Withdrawal Unauthorized) — assigned when a student stops participating in a course without officially withdrawing and completes insufficient work for evaluation — is treated as equivalent to an F for purposes of GPA calculation and academic standing.

How do I convert semester GPA to cumulative GPA at SJSU?
Your cumulative GPA is the credit-weighted average of your semester GPAs across every semester: (semester GPA₁ × credits₁ + … + semester GPAₙ × creditsₙ) ÷ (credits₁ + … + creditsₙ). Save each semester to the tracker on this page, by course or as a quick semester GPA + credits entry, and it works out your cumulative GPA on every save, edit and delete.
Is this SJSU GPA calculator free, and is my data private?
