Understanding Your TCC GPA
Your Grade Point Average (GPA) is a crucial metric at Tallahassee Community College, reflecting your academic performance. It's calculated by dividing the total number of grade points you've earned by the total number of credit hours attempted for graded courses.
How GPA is Calculated:
Each letter grade is assigned a specific number of grade points:
A = 4.0 grade points per credit hour
B = 3.0 grade points per credit hour
C = 2.0 grade points per credit hour
D = 1.0 grade point per credit hour
F = 0.0 grade points per credit hour
Grades such as 'W' (Withdrawal), 'P' (Pass), and 'I' (Incomplete) typically do not factor into your GPA calculation, though they may count towards attempted credits for financial aid or academic standing purposes. This calculator focuses on the standard GPA calculation using A-F grades.
Why Your TCC GPA Matters:
Academic Standing: TCC uses your GPA to determine your academic standing (e.g., good standing, academic probation, suspension).
Transfer to Universities: If you plan to transfer to a four-year university (like FSU or FAMU), your GPA is a primary factor in admission decisions. Many universities have minimum GPA requirements for transfer students.
Financial Aid Eligibility: Maintaining a satisfactory GPA is often a requirement for continued eligibility for scholarships, grants, and other forms of financial aid.
Scholarships: Many scholarships, both internal to TCC and external, require a minimum GPA.
Career Opportunities: While not always the first thing employers look at, a strong GPA can be beneficial when applying for internships or entry-level positions, especially if you have limited work experience.
Using the TCC GPA Calculator:
Enter Course Details: For each course, input the number of credit hours it's worth and select the letter grade you received or anticipate receiving.
Add More Courses: Click "Add Another Course" to include all your courses for the semester or your entire academic history.
Calculate: Click "Calculate GPA" to see your estimated GPA.
This tool is designed to help you track your academic progress and plan for future semesters at TCC. Remember, official GPA calculations are maintained by the TCC Registrar's Office.
