A good college GPA on a standard 4.0 scale can fall between 3.0 and 4.0—or between a B and an A+. However, “good” often depends on context. Given the advanced subject matter, college can be a more challenging academic undertaking than high school, and tends to result in lower GPAs [1].

How do I know if I'm in the right major? ›

Start by thinking about your interests and strengths because these can point you toward a major you'll enjoy. Research different majors and their requirements to see which ones align with your goals and aspirations. Don't be afraid to seek advice from academic advisers and professionals.

Not counted courses are coursework that is not counted toward graduation requirements. This includes developmental courses as well as attempts that exceed a limit, and duplicate courses. Courses fall into this category because they do not meet a rule somewhere in your degree plan.

Courses will appear in the Fallthrough category if they do not satisfy the requirements of your degree plan, or if you have already satisfied a requirement and your planned course is an extra credit. However, these classes still show on your transcript and are calculated into your GPA.
