Calculate your UT Dallas GPA with the official catalog grade-point table, the three-decimal display rule that makes a UTD GPA look different from every other school's, and the NF and incomplete grades that act like an F.
| Grade | Semester credit hours |
|---|
Enter each course's grade and semester credit hours. Only UT Dallas courses compute into the GPA, transfer credit adds hours toward graduation but no grade points.
| Grade | Grade points | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| A+ | 4.000 | Same 4.000 as an A |
| A | 4.000 | Excellent |
| A− | 3.670 | |
| B+ | 3.330 | |
| B | 3.000 | Good |
| B− | 2.670 | |
| C+ | 2.330 | |
| C | 2.000 | Fair |
| C− | 1.670 | |
| D+ | 1.330 | |
| D | 1.000 | Poor |
| D− | 0.670 | |
| F | 0.000 | Failure, NF (non-attendance failure) also computes as 0.000 |
| Input | Result |
|---|---|
| A (3cr) + B+ (3cr) + A− (3cr) | 3.667 / 4.000 |
| A+ (3cr) + C (3cr) | 3.000 / 4.000, the A+ counts as a flat 4.000 |
| B (3cr) + B− (3cr) + D+ (3cr) | 2.333 / 4.000 |
| A (3cr) + F (3cr) + B+ (3cr) | 2.443 / 4.000, the F computes as 0.000 and its hours stay in the denominator |
UT Dallas is one of the few large universities that shows term and cumulative GPAs to three decimal places, rounded from the fourth digit, on transcripts and in Galaxy, not the two decimals almost everyone else uses. A 3.6665 rounds to 3.667, and two students separated by a single B+ can genuinely show different numbers. When a scholarship or employer asks you to report a 2-decimal GPA, they are asking you to re-round the official figure; report the 3-decimal value on documents that verify against your transcript.
| Grade | GPA effect |
|---|---|
| NF | Non-attendance failure, grade point value 0.000, computed into the GPA exactly like an F, and used in probation and dismissal decisions |
| I | Incomplete, no points until resolved; automatically becomes an F if not completed within eight weeks of the next long semester |
| CR / P | Credit or pass, earns hours, no grade points, excluded from the GPA |
| W family | W, WL, WC, WD, WI, WU, WM, WW, withdrawals carry no grade points |
The grade-point table, the three-decimal rounding rule, the NF policy, the incomplete-to-F deadline and the transfer-credit rule come from the UT Dallas undergraduate and graduate catalogs' grading policies pages.
Multiply each course's grade points per semester hour (A+ and A are 4.000 down to F at 0.000) by its credit hours, sum the grade points, and divide by the credit hours for which you received a letter grade. UT Dallas then displays the result to three decimal places.
The UT Dallas catalog states that all term and cumulative GPAs are rounded from the fourth digit to the third and displayed with three decimal places on transcripts, in Galaxy and in the catalog. That is the official format, not a glitch.
No. Only grades received in UT Dallas classes compute into the GPA. Accepted transfer credit counts toward the semester credit hours you need for graduation, but adds no grade points.
NF means failure for non-attendance, it is assigned when a student never attended or participated in a course. Its grade point value is 0.000, it computes into the GPA exactly like an F, and it counts for academic probation and dismissal decisions.
Eight weeks from the first day of the subsequent long semester. If the work is not completed by then, the I automatically becomes an F, and you may not re-enroll in a course in which an I remains.
