Grade Point Average (GPA)

Academic progress is based on a 4.0 cumulative grade point average (GPA) system. Only courses completed at DCCC are calculated in the student's GPA.

  • Term GPA is calculated each semester and is used to determine eligibility for Dean's List and Academic Probation and Suspension.

  • Program GPA is calculated using only the grades for courses included in the student's program of study and is used to determine Honors and High Honors upon graduation.

  • Cumulative GPA is calculated using grades from every course the student has completed at Davidson County Community College. A final Cumulative GPA of 2.0 is required for graduation with a degree, diploma, or certificate.

COMPUTATION OF GRADE-POINT AVERAGE
Students accumulate grade points based on grades earned per semester. The GPA is determined by dividing grade points earned by the number of semester credit hours attempted. The last grade earned in a course will be used to calculate GPA.
