How your result is calculated
- GPA = grade points ÷ credit hours attempted at TCU, excluding hours taken Pass/No-Credit.
- TCU keeps a semester average (courses taken at TCU that term) and a cumulative average (all work attempted at TCU).
- Pass/No-Credit courses are disregarded in the GPA; U grades are not counted in the GPA and carry no credit hours.
- P, NC, AU, AW and W are non-grade designators without grade points.
- An Incomplete (I) not completed by the agreed date (no later than 60 days after the start of the next full semester) converts to F.
- Where a policy requires C or better, C- does not meet it (likewise B-).
- Repeats: when a TCU course is repeated at TCU, only the last letter grade counts in the GPA; all grades stay on the transcript. If a course is taken at TCU and elsewhere, only the TCU grade is used. Credit counts once.
- Transfer credit hours may satisfy degree requirements but are not used in the cumulative GPA; no transfer credit for grades below C-.

Questions
How is TCU Semester average calculated?
Semester average is the average of your grade points weighted by credit hours: multiply each course's credit hours by the grade point for your grade, add these up, and divide by the total credit hours. Under Undergraduate grading system, A carries 4 grade points on a 4-point scale.
How is TCU Cumulative average calculated?
Cumulative average is the average of the grade points of all courses taken so far, weighted by credit hours.
Is OpenCGPA an official TCU calculator?
No. OpenCGPA is independent and not affiliated with Texas Christian University. It applies the rules published in TCU's own documents, linked on this page. Your official result is the one on your grade card.
