The Math

How University of Utah GPA Is Calculated

U of U multiplies each grade point by credit hours to get grade points earned, then divides total grade points by total graded units.

U of U GPA Formula
\[ \text{GPA} = \frac{\displaystyle\sum \text{Grade Points}}{\displaystyle\sum \text{GPA Units}} = \frac{\displaystyle\sum (\text{Grade Point} \times \text{Credit Hours})}{\displaystyle\sum \text{Credit Hours}} \]
Grade PointsGrade point value × credit hours for each course
GPA UnitsTotal graded credit hours (excludes CR, NC, W, I, P, etc.)

📝 Worked Example

A sample calculation using three courses:

WRTG 20103.0A4.03 × 4.0 = 12.0
MATH 12104.0B−2.74 × 2.7 = 10.8
CHEM 12104.0C+2.34 × 2.3 = 9.2
