Things to consider when calculating Financial Aid SAP:
- You will need your unofficial transcript to calculate Financial Aid SAP. This may be obtained through the myRECORDS section of your myCOMPASS account.
- Transferred credit is not used to calculate the NCMC grade point average.
- Remedial (DS) courses are included in the GPA calculation for purposes of Financial Aid cumulative GPA only. A grade of passing (P) will receive the equivalent of 2.5 and a grade of failing (X) will receive 0 for the Financial Aid cumulative GPA calculation.
Financial Aid GPA is calculated differently than Academic GPA .
*To find, obtain your unofficial transcript on myCOMPASS. Cumulative credit hours will be listed under ‘GPA Crd Cum’ listed after your last semester of attendance.
If this is your first semester, indicate a 0.
