Only the summary totals of transfer work received by Chico State appear on your transcripts; individual courses are not listed. If you need copies of transcripts supplied to Chico State, please contact the institution that originally issued your transcript to request a copy.
For each semester your Term GPA, Chico GPA, and Cumulative GPA are calculated.

The columns for each of these values are Attempted Units, Earned Units, and Grade Points. These values are used to calculate your GPA.
The GPA Calculator may help you project your GPA based upon estimated current semester grades.
