The Math

How UTA GPA Is Calculated

UT Arlington multiplies each grade point by credit hours to get grade points earned, then divides total grade points by total graded hours.

UTA GPA Formula

\[ \text{GPA} = \frac{\displaystyle\sum \text{Grade Points}}{\displaystyle\sum \text{Graded Hours}} = \frac{\displaystyle\sum (\text{Grade Point} \times \text{Credit Hours})}{\displaystyle\sum \text{Credit Hours}} \]

Grade PointsGrade point value × credit hours for each course

Graded HoursTotal hours undertaken (excludes I, P, Q, W, Z)

📝 Worked Example

A typical UTA example using three courses:

Course	Credit Hours	Grade	Grade Point	Grade Points
ENGL 1301	3.0	A	4.00	3 × 4.00 = 12.00
MATH 1302	3.0	B	3.00	3 × 3.00 = 9.00
HIST 1311	3.0	C	2.00	3 × 2.00 = 6.00
Total	9.0	—	—	27.00

Plugging into the formula:

\[ \text{GPA} = \frac{27.00}{9.0} = \mathbf{3.00} \]

The Conversion Formula

UTA uses a 4.0 scale, so:

\[ \text{Percentage} = \text{GPA} \times 25 \quad \text{or equivalently} \quad \text{Percentage} = \left(\frac{\text{GPA}}{4.0}\right) \times 100 \]

Example: If your GPA is 3.5, then Percentage = 3.5 × 25 = 87.50%.
