The Math

How UT Dallas GPA Is Calculated

UTD multiplies each grade point by credit hours to get grade points, then divides total grade points by graded semester hours. GPAs are rounded to three decimal places.

UTD 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 credit hours for which a grade other than I, NC, or CR is received

📝 Worked Example

A three-course example using UTD grade points:

HIST 13013.0C+2.3303 × 2.330 = 6.990
