University of Central Florida Official Grading Scale
UCF uses a distinctive plus/minus grading system where modifiers adjust GPA by 0.25 increments — unlike most US universities that use 0.33 increments. There is no A+ grade at UCF, and the A- is worth 3.75 points instead of the typical 3.67. Each professor has full discretion over the percentage ranges that correspond to each letter grade, which are always outlined in the course syllabus.
| Letter Grade | Grade Points (UCF) | Standard Scale | Standing |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | 4.00 | 4.00 | Excellent |
| A- | 3.75 ⚡ | 3.67 | Excellent — UCF unique |
| B+ | 3.25 ⚡ | 3.33 | Good — UCF unique |
| B | 3.00 | 3.00 | Good |
| B- | 2.75 ⚡ | 2.67 | Good — UCF unique |
| C+ | 2.25 ⚡ | 2.33 | Satisfactory — UCF unique |
| C | 2.00 | 2.00 | Satisfactory — Min for most prereqs |
| C- | 1.75 ⚡ | 1.67 | Below Average — Fails many prereqs |
| D+ | 1.25 ⚡ | 1.33 | Poor — UCF unique |
| D | 1.00 | 1.00 | Poor |
| D- | 0.75 ⚡ | 0.67 | Minimum Pass — UCF unique |
| F | 0.00 | 0.00 | Failing |
⚡ UCF's Unique Scale: Grades marked with ⚡ differ from the standard 0.33-increment scale used by most US universities. For example, UCF's A- = 3.75 (vs. 3.67 standard), B+ = 3.25 (vs. 3.33 standard), and D- = 0.75 (vs. 0.67 standard). Always use UCF's scale when calculating your GPA for UCF applications, scholarships, or academic standing.
Semester GPA Formula
GPA = Σ (Grade Points × Credit Hours) ÷ Total Letter-Graded Credit Hours
Example: Chemistry A- (3.75) × 3cr + Calculus B+ (3.25) × 3cr = (11.25 + 9.75) ÷ 6 = GPA 3.50
CGPA Formula
CGPA = Σ (Semester GPA × Semester Letter-Graded Credits) ÷ Total Credits All Semesters
S/U Grading and Special Grade Designations
UCF offers a Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory (S/U) grading option for certain elective courses. For undergraduate students, grades of A through C earn Satisfactory (S); a C- or below earns Unsatisfactory (U) and does not award course credit. S/U grades do not factor into GPA calculations.
Additional special designations on a myUCF transcript include: W (Withdrawal — does not affect GPA but appears on transcript), I (Incomplete — must be resolved within the instructor's timeframe or converts to F), and NC (No Credit — used in developmental courses, does not penalize GPA).
"At UCF, a C- (1.75) is effectively a failing grade for many degree programs — particularly within the College of Engineering and Computer Science and core prerequisite courses. Students must earn a solid C (2.00) or higher to satisfy most major requirements. Always check your specific program requirements."
UCF GPA Requirements & Academic Standing
UCF monitors both semester and cumulative GPA for undergraduate academic standing. Students are recognized for excellence through the President's List and Dean's List, and face academic action for falling below the minimum GPA threshold.
| GPA Range | Standing / Recognition | What It Means |
|---|---|---|
| 4.00 | President's List | Perfect 4.00 semester GPA with 12+ credit hours — highest UCF honor |
| 3.50 – 3.99 | Dean's List | Semester GPA 3.50+ with 12+ graded hours — excellent recognition |
| 3.00 – 3.49 | Good Standing | Strong academic performance at UCF |
| 2.00 – 2.99 | Satisfactory | Meets minimum undergraduate requirement |
| Below 2.00 | Academic Probation | Below minimum — risk of academic suspension |
UCF President's List & Dean's List: The UCF President's List requires a perfect 4.00 semester GPA with a minimum of 12 graded credit hours. The Dean's List requires a semester GPA of 3.50 to 3.99 with the same 12-credit minimum. Both are awarded on a per-semester basis, not cumulatively.
C- Warning for UCF Engineering & Sciences: For students in UCF's College of Engineering and Computer Science, College of Sciences, and most pre-professional programs, a C- (1.75) does NOT satisfy prerequisite or major requirements. A minimum grade of C (2.00) is required. Receiving a C- forces you to retake the course, impacting both GPA and time to graduation.
