Southeast Missouri State University (SEMO) GPA Calculator

Grade points are earned on the following basis: A = 4 points, B = 3 points, C = 2 points, D = 1 point, F = 0 points per semester hour. GPA is computed by dividing total grade points by the number of semester hours of academic work attempted.

Grades of CR (credit), P (pass), and AU (audit), along with non-degree (ND-prefix) courses, are not computed in the GPA. A grade of P does not affect the GPA, but a grade of F is computed into the GPA.

When a course is repeated, the first grade remains on the permanent record, but only the last grade earned is used in computing the GPA.

Any time a student's cumulative GPA falls below 2.0, the student is placed on academic probation with enrollment limited to 12 hours per semester, and is expected to earn a semester GPA of 2.0 each subsequent semester until the cumulative GPA reaches 2.0.

A student on probation who earns a semester GPA below 2.0 is subject to academic suspension, reviewed under rules based on cumulative GPA and number of terms attended (for example, a cumulative GPA below 1.75 results in suspension regardless of terms attended). A suspended student may appeal in writing to the University Academic Appeals Committee.

A minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0 is required for graduation for most undergraduate degrees. Several programs require higher minimums: 2.5 for the Bachelor of Applied Science; 2.75 for the B.S. in Education, B.S. in Family and Consumer Sciences Education, and Bachelor of Music Education; 2.25 for majors on the Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and for the Social Work major; and 2.5 for Communication Disorders, Sport Management, and Health Management majors. A minimum 2.0 GPA is also required in major coursework generally, with several majors requiring 2.25-3.0.

Dean's Honor List: full-time students who complete 12 hours of standard graded (A-F) credit, achieve a semester GPA of 3.75 or higher, earn no grade below a B, and receive no failing grades.

Graduation with honors requires a qualifying cumulative GPA of at least 3.5: cum laude (3.5-3.749), magna cum laude (3.75-3.899), and summa cum laude (3.9-4.0).

Applicants from accredited, U.S. Department of Education-recognized colleges or universities who have completed 24 transferable semester hours with a cumulative transfer GPA of 2.0 or higher on a four-point scale are considered for admission. The University has ratified articulation agreements with Missouri public colleges and universities and a number of named out-of-state and international institutions, giving transfer students every possible advantage within the limits of those agreements when transfer credit is evaluated.
