UF GPA Calculator

This is a free, independent study aid. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or officially connected to the University of Florida. The grade-point values shown are UF’s published grading scale, cited below. For your official GPA, check your record in ONE.UF or talk with your academic advisor.

How to use this calculator

1. Add a row for each course you took this term. Pick the letter grade you earned from the grade menu and type the number of credit hours for that course. The course name is optional and only helps you keep track.
2. Use the Add course button to add more rows, up to 50. Only graded letter grades A through E belong in the table; leave out Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory, Incomplete, Withdrawn, and other non-GPA grades.
3. To project a new cumulative GPA, fill in the two optional fields with your current cumulative GPA and the credit hours you have already earned. Leave them blank to see only this term’s GPA.
4. Select Calculate. The tool multiplies each grade’s UF point value by its credit hours, adds up the grade points and credit hours, and divides to get your term GPA, then truncates it to two decimals exactly as UF does.

How it works

This calculator uses the University of Florida grade-point scale (also called the quality-point scale), the official table that turns each letter grade into points. UF set these values effective May 11, 2009, and they are published in the UF Catalog, Grades and Grading Policies. The same values appear on the UF Academic Advising Center GPA Calculator and the UF Warrington College of Business GPA Calculator.

For each course, the tool multiplies the grade’s point value by the course’s credit hours to get the grade points for that course. It adds up the grade points across all your courses, adds up the credit hours, and divides:

GPA = sum of (grade points x credits) / sum of credits

This matches UF’s own instruction: multiply the grade value by the number of credits for total grade points, then divide the total grade points by the number of credits carried.

Here is the UF scale this calculator applies:

Grade	Grade points
A	4.00
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
E (failing)	0.00

One detail many calculators get wrong: UF displays your GPA to the hundredths place and truncates it rather than rounding up. The UF Catalog states it plainly: a value of 3.248 shows as 3.24, not 3.25. Truncation means the tool keeps the first two decimals and drops the rest, so it never rounds you up to a higher GPA than UF records. This calculator truncates, not rounds, to match UF.

The grade E is UF’s failing grade. It is worth 0.00 grade points, but its credit hours still count in the denominator. That pulls your GPA down without earning any grade points or credit. Non-GPA grades behave differently: Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory (S/U), Incomplete (I), and Withdrawn (W) carry no grade points and are left out of the average entirely. That is why the grade menu lists only letter grades A through E.

You can also project a new cumulative GPA. Fill in the two optional fields with your current cumulative GPA and the credit hours you have already earned. The tool turns your prior GPA and prior credits back into grade points, adds this term’s grade points and credits, and divides again. The projected cumulative GPA is also truncated to two decimals. Leave those two fields blank and you’ll get the GPA for the courses you entered.

Examples

If you take four courses this term: an A in 3-credit ENC1101, a B+ in 3-credit MAC2311, a C in 4-credit CHM2045, and an A- in 3-credit AMH2010, the tool returns a term GPA of 3.15. The grade points work out to 4.00 x 3 = 12.00, plus 3.33 x 3 = 9.99, plus 2.00 x 4 = 8.00, plus 3.67 x 3 = 11.01, which is 41.00 grade points over 13 credits. That ratio is 3.1538, and UF truncates it to 3.15 rather than rounding up. With no prior balance entered, the cumulative figures match the term figures.

If you take four 3-credit courses and earn an A, an A-, a B+, and a B-, the raw GPA lands on exactly 3.4175. The grade points are 12.00 + 11.01 + 9.99 + 8.01 = 41.01 over 12 credits. The tool returns 3.41 because UF truncates the third decimal. A calculator that rounds to the nearest hundredth would show 3.42, which is higher than UF actually records, so this is where the truncation rule matters.

If an E sneaks into your term, it counts. Say you earn an A, a B, an E, and a B+, each in a 3-credit course. The grade points are 12.00 + 9.00 + 0.00 + 9.99 = 30.99, but the E’s 3 credits still count, so you divide by 12 credits, not 9. The result is 2.58. If the E credits were left out, you would see 3.44, so the E correctly drags the GPA down.

To project a cumulative GPA, enter a current cumulative GPA of 3.45 over 60 earned credits, then add a 15-credit term of all B grades. The term GPA is 3.00 (45.00 grade points over 15 credits). Your prior grade points are 3.45 x 60 = 207.00, so the totals become 252.00 grade points over 75 credits, which gives a projected cumulative GPA of 3.36.

UF letter-grade to grade-point scale

UF set these grade-point values, also called quality points, effective May 11, 2009. Each letter is worth a fixed number of points per credit hour, and the calculator above uses these exact figures (UF Catalog, Grades and Grading Policies).

Grade	Grade points per credit
A	4.00
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
E (failing)	0.00

A C- earns 1.67 grade points and still counts toward your GPA, but it may not meet a major’s minimum-grade rule. Some degree-granting colleges require a specific minimum grade in certain courses, so a C- can satisfy your GPA yet still fail a program requirement (UF Catalog, Grades and Grading Policies).

How UF computes term and cumulative GPA

UF describes the GPA in three plain steps (UF Catalog, Grades and Grading Policies):

1. Multiply each grade’s point value by the course’s credit hours to get that course’s grade points.
2. Add up the grade points from all your courses, then add up the credit hours you carried.
3. Divide the total grade points by the total credit hours, then truncate the result to two decimals. UF does not round up, so 3.248 shows as 3.24.

Here is a worked term. Say you earn an A in a 3-credit course, a B in a 3-credit course, and a C in a 4-credit course. The grade points are 4.00 x 3 = 12.00, plus 3.00 x 3 = 9.00, plus 2.00 x 4 = 8.00, which is 29.00 grade points over 10 credit hours. Divide and you get 2.90.

Your cumulative GPA uses the same math across every term you have taken. To project it, the calculator turns your prior cumulative GPA and prior credits back into grade points by multiplying them together, adds this term’s grade points and credits, and divides again. So a prior 3.45 over 60 credits becomes 207.00 prior grade points, and a 15-credit term worth 45.00 grade points lifts the totals to 252.00 over 75 credits, or a 3.36 cumulative GPA.

Non-GPA grades and UF’s repeat and transfer rules

Some UF grades carry no grade points and stay out of the GPA entirely. They affect neither the total grade points nor the credit hours you divide by (UF Catalog, Grades and Grading Policies).

S and U

S means satisfactory, set at a C (2.0) or better, and U means unsatisfactory. Both carry no grade points and are left out of the GPA, so do not enter S/U courses in the table above.

I and N

I means incomplete, given when work is unfinished. If you do not complete it within 150 days, the I becomes a failing grade. N means no grade was reported. Both carry no grade points until they resolve.

W

W means you withdrew from the course. It carries no grade points and does not count in the GPA.

H

H means deferred, used for work that spans more than one term. It carries no grade points while the grade is pending.

Three UF policies also shape how you should read your GPA. UF does not use grade forgiveness, so a low grade stays on your record. When you repeat a UF course, UF counts it in your GPA every time a grade is recorded, even though you earn the credit only once. And grades you earned at other schools do not average into your UF GPA; only UF coursework counts (UF Catalog, Grades and Grading Policies).

GPA you need at UF: good standing, honors, and graduation

These benchmarks tell you what a given cumulative GPA means at UF, from staying in good standing to earning honors. Standing, probation, and graduation thresholds come from UF’s academic progress policies (UF Catalog, Academic Progress Policies), and the honors thresholds come from UF’s academic honors page (UF Catalog, Academic Honors).

Cumulative GPA	What it means at UF
2.00	Minimum for good academic standing and to graduate
Below 2.00	Triggers academic probation; continued shortfall can lead to dismissal under a grade-point-deficit rule that grows with earned credits
Set by each college	Latin honors (cum laude, magna cum laude, summa cum laude) cutoffs are not a single UF-wide number; each college sets its own, and they vary. Some sit near 3.5 while others are lower, so check your college’s policy
4.00	Required for the President’s Honor Roll

Use these as a guide, not a guarantee. Exact honors cutoffs and dismissal rules vary by college and by how many credits you have earned, so confirm your status with your academic advisor (UF Catalog, Academic Progress Policies).

What the data says

Students reach for this calculator because one bad grade carries weight at UF. The university has no grade forgiveness, so a low grade counts every time, and minus grades mean an A- is not the same as an A. So the real question behind the math is simple: where does this term leave me?

The stakes start at the door. For the Class of 2029, the middle half of admitted UF students had a recalculated weighted GPA between 4.5 and 4.7, drawn from 91,896 applicants competing for 18,169 offers (UF Admissions, Class of 2029 Admitted Student Profile). One note so this number does not confuse you: that 4.5 to 4.7 is a weighted high-school GPA, which can climb above 4.0 because honors and AP courses add bonus points. It is not the 4.0 college scale this calculator computes, where an A is a flat 4.00.

Once you are in, UF reports your GPA in a way many calculators get wrong. The UF Catalog states the rule plainly:

“The GPA value is displayed to the hundredths place and not rounded up (i.e., 3.248 = 3.24).”

University of Florida, in the UF Undergraduate Catalog, Grades and Grading Policies.

UF truncates rather than rounds, so a 3.248 shows as 3.24, not 3.25. This calculator does the same, which is why it can report a slightly lower number than a tool that rounds to the nearest hundredth.

That rule applies at scale. UF enrolled 61,890 students in Fall 2024, including 39,794 undergraduates, all held to the same grading rules this calculator follows (UF Facts, University of Florida News).

What this tool does that others don’t

• It projects a new cumulative GPA. Neither official UF calculator lets you enter a prior cumulative GPA and earned credits, so they cannot show your GPA after this term. This tool adds those two optional fields and reports the projected cumulative GPA.
• It applies UF’s truncation rule. UF truncates the GPA to two decimals and does not round up, yet generic calculators round to the nearest hundredth and can show a GPA higher than UF records. This tool truncates to match your UF record.
• It publishes the full plus/minus scale inline. Some third-party tools claim to use UF’s official scale without showing the point values, so you can’t verify them. The full table here cites the UF Catalog, including the values UF uses that others get wrong, such as A- at 3.67 and B+ at 3.33.
• It is clear about which grades belong in the table. The grade menu lists only A through E. The page explains that S/U, Incomplete, and Withdrawn are non-GPA grades, and that E is UF’s failing grade worth 0.00 points whose credit hours still count.
• It states UF’s policy limits. UF does not use grade forgiveness, counts every graded attempt of a repeated course, and excludes transfer grades from the UF GPA. The page says so, so you don’t over-trust a projection that ignores those rules.

Frequently asked questions

Is this the official UF GPA calculator?

No. This is a free, independent calculator and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to the University of Florida. It uses UF’s publicly published grade-point scale and GPA formula so your result matches how UF computes a term GPA, but for an official figure always check your record in ONE.UF or with your academic advisor.

What grade-point scale does UF use?

UF uses a plus/minus 4.0 scale effective May 11, 2009: A = 4.00, 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, and E (the failing grade) = 0.00. These are the official values published in the UF Catalog’s Grades and Grading Policies.

How is my UF GPA calculated?

For each course, UF multiplies the grade’s point value by the course’s credit hours to get grade points. It adds up the grade points for all your courses, adds up the credit hours, and divides the total grade points by the total credit hours. That ratio is your GPA.

How many grade points is an A- at UF?

An A- is worth 3.67 grade points per credit at UF. So an A- in a 3-credit course earns 3.67 times 3 = 11.01 grade points. UF distinguishes plus and minus grades, so an A- is not the same as a full A (4.00).

What GPA is a B+ at UF?

A B+ is worth 3.33 grade points per credit at UF. If you earned only B+ grades, your GPA would be 3.33. UF’s full scale runs from A at 4.00 down to E (failing) at 0.00, with each plus and minus grade given its own value.

Does UF round my GPA up?

No. UF displays your GPA to the hundredths place and truncates instead of rounding, so a true value of 3.248 is shown as 3.24, not 3.25. This calculator follows the same rule, which means it may show a slightly lower GPA than a generic calculator that rounds to the nearest hundredth.

What does an E grade do to my GPA?

E is UF’s failing grade and is worth 0.00 grade points. It still adds its credit hours to the denominator, so it lowers your GPA without earning any grade points or credit. Enter it in the table as E so the calculator reflects its impact.

Are S/U (Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory) grades counted in my UF GPA?

No. S and U grades carry no grade points and are not included in the GPA at UF, so you should not enter S/U courses in the calculator. The same goes for Incomplete (I), Withdrawn (W), Deferred (H), and No-grade (N). That is why the grade menu only lists letter grades A through E.

How do I project my new cumulative GPA?

Enter your current cumulative GPA and the number of credit hours you have already earned in the two optional fields, then add this term’s courses. The calculator converts your prior GPA and credits back into grade points, adds this term’s grade points and credits, and divides again to give your projected cumulative GPA.

Does UF have grade forgiveness for repeated courses?

No. UF does not use grade forgiveness. When you repeat a course, UF counts it in your GPA every time a grade is recorded, even though credit is awarded only once. This calculator simply averages the courses you enter, so if you want to model a retake, include both attempts as separate rows.

Do transfer credits count toward my UF GPA?

No. Grades earned at other institutions are not averaged into your University of Florida GPA. Only UF coursework counts toward the UF GPA, so do not include transfer courses when calculating your UF GPA here.
