University of Texas at Austin Official Grading Scale
UT Austin uses a standard 4.0 plus/minus grading scale configured by the Office of the Registrar. The university does not award an A+ grade for standard programs — the highest achievable grade point value is A = 4.00. Exact percentage cutoffs can vary by instructor and department syllabus, though typical ranges are provided below.
| Letter Grade | Grade Points | Typical Percentage | Standing |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | 4.00 | 93% – 100% | Excellent — Highest standard grade |
| A- | 3.67 | 90% – 92.9% | Excellent |
| B+ | 3.33 | 87% – 89.9% | Good |
| B | 3.00 | 83% – 86.9% | Good |
| B- | 2.67 | 80% – 82.9% | Good |
| C+ | 2.33 | 77% – 79.9% | Satisfactory |
| C | 2.00 | 73% – 76.9% | Satisfactory — Min for grad credit |
| C- | 1.67 | 70% – 72.9% | Below Satisfactory |
| D+ | 1.33 | 67% – 69.9% | Poor |
| D | 1.00 | 63% – 66.9% | Poor |
| D- | 0.67 | 60% – 62.9% | Minimum undergraduate credit |
| F | 0.00 | 0% – 59.9% | Failing |
UT Law School Exception: The UT School of Law uses a different grading scale that allows an A+ valued at 4.30 grade points — above the standard 4.0 maximum used by all other UT Austin colleges and schools. This GPA calculator is configured for standard UT Austin undergraduate and graduate programs, not the Law School.
Semester GPA Formula
GPA = Σ (Grade Points × Credit Hours) ÷ Total Letter-Graded Credit Hours
Example: Intro to Economics A- (3.67) × 3cr + Statistics B+ (3.33) × 3cr = (11.01 + 9.99) ÷ 6 = GPA 3.50
CGPA Formula
CGPA = Σ (Semester GPA × Semester Letter-Graded Credits) ÷ Total Credits All Semesters
Special Academic Symbols — Excluded from GPA
The following UT Austin transcript designations do not earn grade points and are completely excluded from GPA calculations: CR (Credit — pass/fail courses), NC (No Credit — pass/fail courses), Q (Dropped without academic penalty), W (Official withdrawal from university), X (Temporary incomplete/extension approved by instructor), and I (Permanent incomplete status).
"At UT Austin, undergraduates must earn at least a D- to receive course credit, though many major-specific requirements demand a C- or higher. Graduate School guidelines require a minimum C for any course to count toward a graduate degree Program of Work — a C- does not meet graduate credit standards."
UT Austin GPA Requirements & Academic Standing
The University of Texas at Austin monitors both semester and cumulative GPA to determine undergraduate and graduate academic standing. Maintaining good standing is required for continued enrollment, financial aid, and scholarship eligibility.

|---|---|---|

| Below 2.00 (UG) | Academic Probation | Below minimum — risk of academic suspension |
| Below 3.00 (Grad) | Graduate Probation | Below graduate minimum — program continuation at risk |
UT Austin Dean's Honor List: Undergraduate students may be recognized on the Dean's Honor List within their college based on outstanding semester GPA performance, typically requiring a 3.50 or higher with a full course load. Specific cutoffs vary by college — check with your dean's office for exact requirements.
Graduate Credit Minimum: UT Graduate School requires students to earn a minimum grade of C in each course for it to count toward their Program of Work.
