What will my UT GPA be?

UT GPA is total grade points divided by GPA hours, weighted by each course’s credit hours, so an F adds hours with zero points while CR, Q, and W stay out of the calculation. In the example here, three hours of A, three of B+, and one of B give a 3.570 semester GPA.

Your semester GPA

What will my GPA be?

Example loaded: three hours of A, three of B+ and one of B. Edit the rows for your scenario.

Add previous GPA and graded hours

Example semester GPA: 3.570. UT calculates your official GPA.

Enter the hours and grade for each class. An F counts as zero points but still adds its hours; CR, Q and other excluded grades add neither points nor GPA hours.

What is UT’s grading scale?

UT uses plus and minus grades, and the decimals matter: A– is 3.67 and B+ is 3.33, not 3.7 and 3.3. An undergraduate needs at least a D– to earn credit for a course, and some departments ask for more.

Fall 2026 grades are due from instructors December 14–17, depending on the exam day. Our final grades guide shows when yours should post.

How do the credit hours change the result?

Multiply each class’s hours by its grade value. Add the points, then divide by the total included hours.

A3 × 4.0012.00
B+3 × 3.339.99
B1 × 3.003.00
Semester7 hours24.99 ÷ 7 = 3.570

What happens with CR or an F?

Add three CR hours to the example and the GPA stays 3.570. Add three F hours instead and it becomes 24.99 ÷ 10 = 2.499.

UT’s undergraduate calculation excludes I, Q, W, X, S, U and CR. Credit can count toward a degree without counting toward GPA.

How do I combine this with my previous GPA?

A previous 3.25 GPA over 60 GPA hours gives an estimated 195 points. Add this example’s 24.99 points and seven hours: 219.99 ÷ 67 = about 3.283.

Don’t average 3.25 and 3.570 directly. That would give the seven-hour semester the same weight as the previous 60 hours.

Can I use this for admission or a scholarship?

Use the calculator to compare grade possibilities, then check the program’s rules. Its result doesn’t decide eligibility.

This tool is for UT undergraduate University GPA. Graduate and Law rules differ; use the appropriate official guidance for those programs.

Questions

How is UT undergraduate GPA calculated?

Multiply each included grade value by its credit hours, add the points and divide by included GPA hours.

Is A− 3.7 and B+ 3.3?

UT uses 3.67 for A− and 3.33 for B+. Use those values rather than one-decimal shortcuts.

Do CR, Q and W count like zero-point grades?

No. They’re excluded. An F has zero points while its hours still count.

Can I average two GPAs?

Combine the points and hours. A simple average only works when both periods have the same included hours.

Can I use this for graduate or Law GPA?

No. This calculator follows undergraduate rules. Use official guidance for graduate or Law work.

Does a projected GPA tell me I qualify for a major or scholarship?

No. Check that program’s full rules as well as your GPA.

How we got this

The calculator uses the undergraduate catalog’s grade-point values and exclusions, checked October 27, 2026. A− is 3.67 and B+ is 3.33. A 3-hour A− contributes 11.01 points, not the 11.10 produced by using 3.70.

The example grades are invented for the calculation. Previous GPA × hours is approximate if the previous GPA was rounded, and official UT results control.
