Southeastern Louisiana University (SLU) GPA Calculator

A ratio of 2.0 between earned grade points and semester units attempted is interpreted as a 2.0 (C) grade point average. The Cumulative GPA and Semester GPA are the only GPAs that appear on the transcript prior to graduation; the Primary Program of Study GPA uses only the best grade earned for each course within the curriculum.

Course repetition: a grade of A may not be repeated for additional credit or to improve any GPA. A grade of B or C may be repeated once — both attempts count in the Cumulative GPA, but only the best grade counts toward the Primary Program of Study GPA. A grade of D, F, or WF may be repeated as many times as necessary until a grade of C or higher is earned.

Undergraduate Grade Forgiveness Policy: students may exclude up to 9 credit hours of Southeastern courses graded D or F from their Primary Program, Southeastern, and Adjusted Cumulative GPA calculations, by petition to their college dean. Excluded grades still count toward the Cumulative GPA used for financial aid satisfactory-academic-progress and scholarship/TOPS retention, and still count in Honors at Graduation calculations.

Academic warning applies when a student's cumulative GPA is between 2.0 and 2.4 — it carries no penalty but signals approaching probation. A student is placed on academic probation whenever the cumulative GPA falls below 2.0, and remains on probation until it reaches 2.0 or higher.

A student on academic probation is suspended at the end of any semester in which the semester GPA is below 2.0 (a beginning freshman may be placed on probation after the first semester but cannot be suspended). A first suspension allows return at the start of the next regular semester; a second or subsequent suspension is for one calendar year. Readmission requires a formal application after the suspension period.

A candidate for a degree must have a minimum Cumulative Grade Point Average of 2.0 (C) on all coursework, on all work attempted at Southeastern, and on all work in the major field — or a minimum Degree GPA of 2.0 (C) on all coursework applicable to the curriculum, the major field, and Southeastern coursework. Certain curricula, colleges, or professional programs set higher GPA requirements for admission or graduation.

Baccalaureate graduates with a cumulative GPA of 3.500 or better (including transferred coursework) are recognized as honor graduates. Effective Summer 2003, the cumulative GPA bands for graduation honors are uniform across all University of Louisiana System universities:

Associate Degree honor graduates are recognized at a cumulative GPA of 3.500 or higher.
