Tri-County Technical College (TCTC) GPA Calculator

Developmental courses offered through the Comprehensive Studies Department (numbered below 100) generate no credit hours and do not affect the GPA or count toward graduation. Developmental courses numbered 100 or above generate credit hours and affect the GPA, but still do not count toward graduation in any degree, diploma, or certificate program.

GPA is calculated by multiplying each course's credit hours by its grade-point value to get quality points, summing quality points and credit hours separately across all courses, then dividing total quality points by total credit hours.

A minimum institutional (cumulative) GPA of 2.00 is required for satisfactory academic standing. A student who falls below this minimum is placed on Warning for the next term. Achieving a 2.00 term GPA without yet reaching the 2.00 institutional minimum moves the student to Academic Recovery, then Probation if the shortfall continues, then Suspension, and finally Dismissal if the institutional and term GPA still do not meet the minimum after a suspension term.

To graduate, students must maintain both an overall minimum 2.00 GPA and a 2.00 GPA in courses required for their program of study. Some programs may require a grade of C or higher in specific courses.

• Summa Cum Laude - overall GPA of 3.95 to 4.00
• Magna Cum Laude - overall GPA of 3.75 to 3.94
• Cum Laude - overall GPA of 3.50 to 3.74

Course transfer equivalencies can be reviewed through the South Carolina Transfer and Articulation Center (SCTRAC). Once transcripts are reviewed, students can view transferred course credits through the Degree Works tile on the MyTCTC portal.
