SUNY Oneonta GPA Calculator

Within each course, the instructor determines the basis for evaluation, founded upon academic performance professionally judged.

Only grades of “A” through “E” carry quality-point values and are used to compute GPA. Passing (“P”), failing (“F”, the Pass/Fail-course grade), Incomplete (“I”), and Withdrawal (“W”) carry no quality-point value and are not computed in the GPA.

The semester GPA is the number of quality points earned during the semester divided by the credit hours carried during the semester for all courses in which weighted grades were received. The cumulative GPA is the total quality points earned divided by the total credit hours carried for all such courses.

GPAs are truncated, not rounded — e.g. a 2.64666 computation is reported as 2.64.

OVERALL GPA uses all courses completed at SUNY Oneonta; MAJOR GPA uses the highest SUNY Oneonta grades earned to complete the minimum major requirements; MINOR GPA uses the highest SUNY Oneonta grades earned to complete the minimum minor requirements.

When a course is repeated (taken Fall 1994 or later), both attempts remain on the transcript but only the higher grade is calculated in the GPA; credit is granted only once, and a maximum of one repeat per course is permitted.

Any student whose semester GPA falls below 2.00 is placed (or continued) on probation, regardless of cumulative GPA. Students on probation for three or more semesters are reviewed for dismissal, even with a cumulative GPA above 2.00. The University also reviews students for dismissal when they fail to meet the minimum cumulative-GPA retention standards below:
