The UT grade-point table
Grade-point values are per credit hour. GPA = Σ(grade points × credits) ÷ Σ(graded credits), excluding the non-GPA symbols below.
| Letter | Grade points | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| A | 4.00 | Highest grade |
| A− | 3.67 | |
| B+ | 3.33 | |
| B | 3.00 | |
| B− | 2.67 | |
| C+ | 2.33 | |
| C | 2.00 | |
| C− | 1.67 | |
| D+ | 1.33 | |
| D | 1.00 | |
| D− | 0.67 | Minimum for undergraduate credit |
| F | 0.00 | Failure |
I, Q, W, X, S, U, CR, NC are excluded from the GPA.
Repeated courses
UT Austin: there is no grade replacement policy. If a student repeats a course, both grades appear on the transcript and both are calculated into the overall GPA. “The last grade is the official grade” means the grade of record — it does not mean the last grade replaces earlier ones in the GPA.
Worked example
Worked example. A (3 credits) + D− (3 credits) = (4.00 × 3) + (0.67 × 3) = 12.00 + 2.01 = 14.01 quality points ÷ 6 credits = 2.335 → displayed as 2.34 (rounded display; UT states no truncation rule, unlike UF). The calculator starts with exactly these two courses.
Assumptions on this page
- All credits are GPA-bearing letter-graded credits. Excluded symbols (I, Q, W, X, S, U, CR, NC) are left out by the calculator.
- No repeats in the main table. Repeated courses use the repeat widget below: at UT Austin every attempt counts.
- Display rounding: the displayed GPA is rounded to two decimals (presentation rounding). UT states no truncation rule.
Common mistakes
- Reading “last grade is official” as replacement. UT Extension’s “last grade is official” refers to the grade of record. The GPA still includes all attempts.
- Adding an A+. There is no A+ at UT Austin. A at 4.00 is the top.
- Truncating like UF. UT states no truncation rule. UF’s truncation does not apply here.
- Applying a percent scale. UT’s catalog publishes letter-to-grade-point values, not percent bands.
- Expecting a Law GPA. No official GPA is calculated by the registrar for School of Law students.
