Grade point average (GPA) calculations and Academic Standing are not immediately available through the telephone or web systems and require two to three weeks for posting.

Grade Point Average

A student's grade point average (GPA) is calculated by dividing the total number of grade points earned by the total number of units attempted.

W, MW, IF or IX, CR, NC, IP and RD grades are not used in computing grade point average but the W, NC and IF/IX are used in determining progress probation and dismissal status.

Grade Changes

In order to protect the student from an arbitrary change of a grade earned in a course, Education Code Section 76224 states:

"When grades are given for any course of instruction taught in a community college district, the grade given to each student shall be the grade determined by the instructor, and in the absence of mistake, fraud, bad faith, or incompetence, shall be final."

A student who thinks there is a grade error should first confer with the instructor concerning the error.  Students having a grievance relative to a grade received from an instructor should follow the Student Grievance Procedure (BP 5800) available from the Office of Student Services.
