Santa Barbara City College (SBCC) GPA Calculator

When a course with a substandard grade (D+, D, D-, F, FW, NC, or NP) is repeated and completed with a grade other than W, the original grade stays on the transcript marked "E" for exclude, and its units and grade points are excluded from the SBCC GPA calculation. Courses graded D+, D, D-, F, NC, or NP may be repeated up to twice (a maximum of 3 enrollments); a course completed with a C or better may not be repeated.

Under Academic Renewal (BPAP 4240), students may petition to alleviate up to 30 units of substandard coursework (grades below C: D+, D, D-, F, FW) completed at SBCC, provided at least six months have passed since the coursework and the student has since completed 6 units at a 2.00 GPA or better.

A student who earns and maintains a grade point average (GPA) of 2.0 or higher in all graded units taken at Santa Barbara City College is considered to be in Academic Good Standing.

A student is placed on academic notice after attempting at least twelve (12) graded cumulative semester units with a cumulative GPA below 2.0, and is removed from academic notice once the cumulative GPA returns to 2.0 or higher.

A student is placed on required academic pause if their cumulative GPA falls below 1.75 across all units attempted at the college in three consecutive semesters (a summer session does not count as a semester). A student on required pause may petition the Dean of Student Affairs for reinstatement.

Degree candidates (AA, AA-T, AS, AS-T) with a 3.5 cumulative GPA graduate with honors, noted on the final transcript and diploma.

Each semester, full-time students who complete twelve (12) units of letter-graded courses with a 3.5 GPA or better, and part-time students with 18+ cumulative graded units at a 3.5 cumulative GPA (and at least 6 graded units at a 3.5 GPA that semester), are named to the President's Honor Roll. Pass/No Pass grades are not considered.
