Class GradeCALCULATOR

OHIO GPA calculator

OHIO uses plus and minus grades: A is 4.0, A− 3.67, B+ 3.33, B 3.00 and so on down to D− at 0.67 and F at 0. Retake a course and only your last grade counts, even if it’s lower, and you get at most two retakes per course. A WF (withdrawn failing) never touches your GPA, but an FN or FS, for a class you never attended or stopped attending without dropping, counts as an F.

Quality points are the more exact input when the displayed GPA has already been rounded. Do not include these same credits again in the course rows.

Raise my GPA: what would it take to reach a target?

These are future credits beyond the courses and earlier record entered above.

Pass/fail or a retake: what would change?

Whether a pass/fail course leaves the GPA and whether a retake replaces the old grade are your school’s rules; the table below shows OHIO’s.

One grade higher: which course moves your GPA most?

Each line raises one course by one grade on the grade points above and leaves the others as entered, so a course that carries more credit moves the GPA more. A course you haven’t finished can be marked “Planned” in its ⋯ menu: the GPA so far then leaves it out, and the projection counts it at the grade you chose. A grade already on your transcript changes only under your school’s retake or grade-change rules.

Grade points at OHIO

OHIO multiplies each course’s grade points by its credit hours, adds them up and divides by the hours that count. Enter your courses above with these points already set.

What W, pass/fail, incomplete, retakes and transfer credit do at OHIO

A course left out of the GPA adds no points and no hours. In the calculator, choose its code or “Not counted”; a code that counts as zero lowers the GPA like a failing grade.

How OHIO counts each code
CodeWhat it meansIn the OHIO GPA
FN or FSFailure, Never Attended: you registered but never went and didn’t drop. Failure, Stopped Attending: you went at least once, then stopped without droppingBoth count as an F, 0.00, in your GPA. Since fall 2017–18 an instructor gives a plain F only after confirming you completed the course; otherwise you get an FN or FS. If you miss the first two meetings of a class (or the first meeting, if it runs 80 minutes or longer), the instructor can refuse to admit you, and if you don’t then drop it you get an FN or FS. Retake the course and your last grade replaces the FN or FS in your GPA. Rule
WP, WF or WNWithdrawn Passing, Withdrawn Failing or Withdrawn Never Attended: you withdrew from the class after the Friday of the second week of the semesterNone of them affects your GPA, not even a WF, but the class stays on your record and you still pay for it. A drop through the Friday of the second week of the semester (first week of a summer session) leaves nothing on your record. You can withdraw through the Friday of the tenth week of the semester (fifth week of a session); after that only by petition through your college. Withdrawals don’t count toward your retake limit. Rule
IIncomplete: you haven’t finished the work for a regular grade, and your instructor agreed to the incompleteLeft out of your GPA for now. Finish the work within the first two weeks of your next semester of enrollment or within two years, whichever comes first, or the I turns into an F automatically. When you apply to graduate, every I on your record is counted as an F to decide whether you can graduate, and it becomes an F when you graduate. Rule
P or F (pass/fail option)You chose pass/fail: your instructor turns in a letter grade, and the registrar converts it to P or FA P stays out of your GPA; an F counts as 0. The catalog’s grade table says a P is any grade from A to D−, but the Registrar’s Grades and Grade Reporting page says a P means C or better. You qualify with a 2.5 GPA in your latest full-time term or a 2.0 accumulative GPA (first-term freshmen qualify automatically); the Registrar’s page says students in good academic standing. You can take one pass/fail class per term and 12 semester hours in all, they count only toward the total hours to graduate, and graduate-level courses can’t be taken pass/fail. Ask your college student services office by the Friday of the second week of the semester. Your instructor isn’t told, and the original letter grade can’t be recovered. Rule
CR or SCredit, given in certain preapproved courses; Satisfactory, the same value as CR, used only in Spring 2019–20, Fall 2020–21 and Spring 2020–21 because of COVID-19Both count as hours earned but stay out of your GPA. Rule
AUAudit: you attend the class without a grade or creditShows on your transcript but doesn’t affect your GPA or hours earned and doesn’t count toward graduation, though you pay tuition for it. Switch to or from audit by the Friday of the second week of the semester. Rule
NC, NR or PRNo Credit (non-passing work in OPIE intensive English courses, or an old F under the Segmented Transcript Policy), No Report (no grade, a late grade or an ineligible grade from the instructor), or Progress (in a few approved courses that run more than one term)None of these earns hours or enters your GPA. Rule
TA to TD−, TP, TCR, TN, TX, TCT, TTC or TAATransfer credit: a T before the grade you earned elsewhere, or transferred pass, credit, non-grades, prior learning assessment, career-technical, test or articulation-agreement creditNone of these enters your OHIO GPA; only the hours are counted. A TP counts only toward total hours to graduate. Rule
Repeated courseYou took the same course againRetaking a regular, fixed-content course replaces the earlier attempt in your GPA: the earlier grades and hours come out, and your last grade counts, even if it’s lower. Every attempt stays on your transcript, and only the last attempt’s hours count toward graduation. You can retake a course at most twice after your first attempt, and withdrawals don’t count as attempts. Retakes are flagged automatically when you register. Repeatable courses, like MUS 3400, are different: each time earns credit. A retake at another university doesn’t change your OHIO GPA, and a retake after graduation doesn’t change your graduation GPA or honors. Some graduate and professional schools count every attempt. Separately, once you’ve attempted 24 hours you can ask for Academic Forgiveness for up to three courses graded C− or below: they stay on your transcript but leave your term and cumulative GPA, can’t meet major, minor, certificate or general education requirements, and can’t be reversed or forgiven after your first OHIO bachelor’s degree. If you return after at least 24 months away, Academic Fresh Start removes your earlier OHIO grades below C from your GPA, once, and you then need 30 more OHIO hours for a bachelor’s degree. You can’t combine the two, and financial aid still uses your original GPA. The same catalog also keeps a Segmented Transcript Policy for students returning after four or more years, which sets old grades aside only temporarily: the 2.0 to graduate and your graduation honors still count every OHIO hour. The catalog doesn’t say how the two return policies fit together. Rule
Transfer creditGrades from another collegeGrades from other schools never enter your OHIO GPA: transfer courses show with a T before the grade, but only the hours count, so transfer students start with no OHIO GPA. Since summer 2022–23, D+, D and D− grades transfer from any regionally accredited school; remedial courses don’t transfer, and you can’t get credit for the same course twice. AP scores of 3 or above earn credit; from Autumn 2026, IB needs a 4 on Higher Level or a 5 on Standard Level; CLEP subject exams count but general exams don’t. If you were admitted on transfer probation, you need at least a 2.0 every semester (or you’re dismissed for at least four years), and a 2.0 combined GPA on OHIO and earlier college work to become degree-seeking and to graduate. Rule

A worked example

At OHIO a retake replaces your earlier grade even when the new one is worse. Say you earn a C− in a 3-credit course alongside a 3-credit A and a 4-credit B+: (1.67 × 3 + 4.0 × 3 + 3.33 × 4) ÷ 10 = 3.03. You retake the course to raise it and get a D+. The C− and its hours leave your GPA and the D+ takes their place: (1.33 × 3 + 4.0 × 3 + 3.33 × 4) ÷ 10 = 2.93.

The calculator gives an estimate from the grades you enter. Your official GPA is the one on your OHIO academic record.
