Suffolk County Community College (SCCC) GPA Calculator

A cumulative grade point average is computed by dividing the total number of quality points received by the number of credit hours earned. For example, a student who has earned 30 credit hours and received a total of 60 quality points has a cumulative GPA of 2.0.

A college-level course may be repeated one time. All course grades are retained on the transcript, but for repeated courses only the highest grade counts toward the cumulative GPA and credit hours earned. A withdrawal ("W") is not considered a course attempt for this policy.

Once a student attempts 12 resident credits, failing to maintain the following minimum cumulative GPA places them on Academic Warning:

Full-time students on Academic Warning for two consecutive semesters, or part-time students on Academic Warning for three consecutive semesters, are academically dismissed. Dismissed students lose matriculation status and may enroll in no more than 11.5 credits, though they may still take classes at SCCC on a part-time, non-matriculated basis.

Candidates for degrees must attain a cumulative grade point average of not less than 2.0, and a GPA of not less than 2.0 in their major field of study. Certificate candidates must likewise attain a cumulative GPA of not less than 2.0, both cumulatively and in their major field of study.

Full-time matriculated students who complete a minimum of 12 credit hours in a semester with no incompletes and a semester GPA of 3.5 or higher qualify for the Dean's List. Developmental courses do not count toward this GPA.

Graduating students with a cumulative GPA of at least 3.5 graduate "with distinction"; those with at least 3.8 graduate "with highest distinction."

Pi Alpha Sigma, a college honors designation, is awarded to students who achieve a 3.5 cumulative GPA with no incomplete grades and at least 36 credits completed at Suffolk County Community College.

When transfer credits are granted for courses, no quality points or grades are awarded; such credits do not affect the cumulative grade point average at Suffolk County Community College.
