Virginia Tech GPA Calculator

Virginia Tech uses a letter-grade system on a 4.0 scale. GPA is computed by dividing total quality credits earned by total hours attempted at Virginia Tech, excluding courses passed on a Pass/Fail basis and courses graded X (Continuing Course).

Additional grade notations include: I (Incomplete — GPA-neutral unless converted to F), NG (No Grade — computed as F in GPA), NR (Not Reported — not computed as F), P/F (Pass/Fail), S (Satisfactory), W (Withdrawn — not counted in GPA), X (Continuing Course — excluded from GPA), and RP (Repeated Course — assigned when a repeated course with a C or better is identified).

Students are in good academic standing with a cumulative GPA of 2.00 or higher.

Academic Warning: Imposed when the term GPA falls below 2.00 but cumulative GPA remains at or above 2.00; no transcript notation. Students must consult with their undergraduate academic dean and sign an academic contract.

Academic Probation: Imposed when cumulative GPA falls below 2.00; a notation is placed on the academic transcript. Probation is lifted when cumulative GPA returns to at least 2.00. Students on probation may take no more than 15 credits per semester (12 in summer, 3 in winter).

Students must complete all courses with a minimum 2.00 cumulative GPA for all hours attempted. An equally satisfactory record is required in major and minor courses.

Graduation with distinction requires a minimum of 60 semester hours of undergraduate work at Virginia Tech (associate, professional, or graduate hours do not count). GPA is not rounded for distinction eligibility.

Dean's List: Awarded each fall and spring semester to undergraduate students who attempt at least 12 credit hours (all on the A–F option) and earn a term GPA of 3.4 or higher. Not compiled for summer sessions.

Graduation with Distinction (based on Virginia Tech undergraduate work only):

• Cum Laude: cumulative GPA 3.4–3.5999
• Magna Cum Laude: cumulative GPA 3.6–3.7999
• Summa Cum Laude: cumulative GPA 3.8 or greater

Only courses with a grade of C or better transfer to Virginia Tech; a C‑ does not transfer. Credit hours transfer but grades do not — transfer courses are not included in the Virginia Tech GPA calculation.

Students must receive pre-approval from their academic dean's office before taking courses at another institution for transfer credit. Courses must be taken at a regionally accredited institution and must be college-level.

No more than 50% of bachelor's degree requirements may transfer from any community college. Of the last 45 semester hours before graduation, no more than 18 may be transfer hours.
