Yavapai College (YC) GPA Calculator

Only A, B, C, D, and F carry grade points and count toward the cumulative GPA. Several other grades are printed on the transcript but are explicitly excluded from the GPA calculation: S (Satisfactory, treated as C-or-better for prerequisites), U (Unsatisfactory), I (Incomplete), IP (In Progress), W (Withdraw), Y (Administrative Withdraw), and AU (Audit).

When a course is repeated, the cumulative GPA includes only the highest single grade earned in that course, plus all grades from courses that are specifically designated as repeatable. Academic Renewal lets a student who had academic difficulty exclude up to four consecutive semesters of coursework from the GPA calculation (after a two-year wait and at least 12 subsequent credit hours at a grade of C or better); the renewal may be granted only once in a student's academic career.

A student who has attempted 12 or more credits and holds a cumulative GPA below 2.0 is placed on Academic Warning. A student on Academic Warning who then earns below a 2.0 semester GPA moves to Academic Notice, which lasts up to two semesters: the first requires a 2.0 semester GPA, the second a 2.0 cumulative GPA. Failing to meet those requirements converts the status to Academic Suspension. A suspended student may petition the Dean of Students for reinstatement after a minimum one-semester wait.

To earn a degree or certificate, a student must complete all required coursework with a cumulative grade-point average of 2.00 or better in all work completed at Yavapai College, earning a grade of C or higher in each course counted toward the degree or certificate.

The Academic Honors List recognizes students who complete 12 or more credits in a semester with a GPA of 3.5 or higher. At graduation, a degree is conferred "with Honors" on the transcript and diploma for students who complete a minimum number of college-level (100+) credit hours at Yavapai College graded A-F with a cumulative GPA of 3.50 or higher: 30 credit hours for an Associate degree, 45 for a Bachelor of Applied Science, and 60 for other Bachelor's degrees.

Yavapai College accepts credits from regionally accredited institutions on a credit-for-credit basis for courses numbered 100-level or above completed with a grade of C or better; credits from nationally accredited institutions are considered case-by-case. Only the credit is transferred, never the grade point average — transferred coursework does not affect a student's Yavapai College cumulative GPA.
