GPA = total grade points ÷ total credits. Grade points for a course = credits × the points for your grade. CGPA is the same sum across every semester you have completed.
Use this calculator to work out your semester and cumulative GPA the way UT Austin counts grades. The grading scale is already set to UT Austin’s values, so add your courses with their credit hours and letter grades and the results update as you type. Prefer another scale? You can still switch it in the menu, or use the general GPA and CGPA calculator.
UT Austin GPA calculation rules
UT Austin uses a plus/minus letter scale with a 4.00 maximum. An A is worth 4.00 and an A- is worth 3.67, stepping down to a D- at 0.67 and an F at 0.00. The scale has no A+, so an A is the highest value any single course can earn.
Your semester GPA is your total grade points divided by your total credit hours, where a course’s grade points are its credit hours multiplied by the value of the grade. The cumulative University GPA covers letter-graded work taken at UT Austin. Courses that end in I, Q, W, X, S, U or CR are left out of the calculation, so enter only the courses that received a letter grade. Work from other institutions is not part of the UT cumulative GPA.

Grade points follow the official scale. Percentage ranges are the common US convention and not an official conversion, because instructors set their own cutoffs in the syllabus.
