UK GPA Calculator

• GPA = quality points ÷ credit hours (whether earned or not) in courses graded A, B, C, D or E; developmental or remedial courses are excluded.
• Quality points per credit hour: A 4, B 3, C 2, D 1, E 0. The general undergraduate system has no plus or minus grades.
• Exception: courses numbered 800 or higher in the College of Design or the Program in Landscape Architecture use plus/minus grades (A 4.0, A- 3.7, B+ 3.3, B 3.0, B- 2.7, C+ 2.3, C 2.0, C- 1.7, D+ 1.3, D 1.0, D- 0.7, E 0), and those points count in the GPA whatever the student's college.
• P, F (pass/fail), CR, S, UN, IP, I, AU and W do not enter the GPA.
• Pass/fail: students above the freshman level and not on probation may take up to four elective courses pass/fail; neither P nor F counts in the GPA.
• Repeat option: for up to four distinct courses, the highest grade among all completed attempts is used in the cumulative GPA; the other grades stay on the transcript. Repeats must be taken at UK, and the option cannot be used for XE or XF grades or, after a degree, for courses taken before it.
• If a course passed with B or better is repeated without the repeat option, later grades of B or better and their credit hours are ignored in the GPA.
• An I not replaced within 12 months (or before graduation) becomes an E and the GPA is adjusted.
• Transfer grades are not counted in the UK GPA.
• An undergraduate readmitted after two or more continuous years away may be eligible for Academic Forgiveness, which can change how earlier coursework counts in the GPA.
