Understanding the Austin Community College (ACC) Grading System
Calculating your Grade Point Average (GPA) is essential for monitoring your academic progress at Austin Community College. Whether you are aiming for the Dean's List or planning to transfer to a university like UT Austin or Texas State, understanding how your credits and grades interact is the first step toward academic success.
How ACC Calculates GPA
ACC uses a standard 4.0 grading scale. Your GPA is determined by dividing the total number of grade points earned by the total number of semester credit hours attempted. Note that courses with grades of W (Withdrawal), I (Incomplete), or P (Pass) are typically not included in the GPA calculation.
| Letter Grade | Grade Points per Credit Hour |
|---|---|
| A (Excellent) | 4 Points |
| B (Good) | 3 Points |
| C (Average) | 2 Points |
| D (Passing) | 1 Point |
| F (Failure) | 0 Points |
Example GPA Calculation
Suppose you take three classes at ACC during the Fall semester:
- English 1301: Grade A (4 points) × 3 credits = 12 points
- College Algebra: Grade B (3 points) × 3 credits = 9 points
- Biology 1406: Grade C (2 points) × 4 credits = 8 points
Total Credit Hours: 3 + 3 + 4 = 10 hours
Total Grade Points: 12 + 9 + 8 = 29 points
Semester GPA: 29 ÷ 10 = 2.90
Academic Standings at ACC
To remain in good academic standing at Austin Community College, students must generally maintain a cumulative GPA of at least 2.0. If your GPA falls below this threshold, you may be placed on academic probation or suspension, which can impact your eligibility for financial aid.
