Texas A&M’s GPA uses whole letter grades only: A is 4, B 3, C 2, D 1 and F 0, with no plus or minus. A retake counts both grades, and a U from a course taken S/U counts as an F, while an S stays out.
Texas A&M’s points: A 4.00, B 3.00, C 2.00, D 1.00 and so on.
The plus/minus cutoffs Wikipedia lists for US colleges: A+ from 97%, A 93, A- 90, B+ 87, B 83, B- 80 and so on down to D- at 60. It is not universal, so use your syllabus's cutoffs when they differ.Source: Wikipedia, “Academic grading in the United States”.

Each letter starts at its lowest percentage and runs up to the next letter.
Rounding and decimal places
Follow your syllabus. A displayed percentage can round up while the unrounded score stays below a cutoff.
Only changes how results are shown. Extra places appear when rounding would push a score over a letter cutoff.
A letter typed as a score counts as the lowest percentage for that letter on this scale. Use the original percentage when you have it.
Only scales that publish GPA points can convert a percentage. Check that your school uses these same points.

Quality points are the more exact input when the displayed GPA has already been rounded. Do not include these same credits again in the course rows.
Raise my GPA: what would it take to reach a target?
These are future credits beyond the courses and earlier record entered above.
Pass/fail or a retake: what would change?
Whether a pass/fail course leaves the GPA and whether a retake replaces the old grade are your school’s rules; the table below shows Texas A&M’s.
One grade higher: which course moves your GPA most?
Each line raises one course by one grade on the grade points above and leaves the others as entered, so a course that carries more credit moves the GPA more. A course you haven’t finished can be marked “Planned” in its ⋯ menu: the GPA so far then leaves it out, and the projection counts it at the grade you chose. A grade already on your transcript changes only under your school’s retake or grade-change rules.
Compare with a GPA line (dean's list, scholarship, good standing)Course groups and equal weights
Set a course's group or term, or mark it planned, in its ⋯ menu. Groups are just your labels: they don’t apply AMCAS or other application-service GPA rules.
Import courses from a transcript or spreadsheet
Copy the courses from your unofficial transcript, degree audit or a spreadsheet and paste them here, one course per line with its grade and credits. Term headings such as “Fall 2025” keep the courses in their terms. Your grades stay in this browser.

Grade points at Texas A&M
Texas A&M multiplies each course’s grade points by its credit hours, adds them up and divides by the hours that count. Enter your courses above with these points already set.
Texas A&M University letter grades and grade points
What W, pass/fail, incomplete, retakes and transfer credit do at Texas A&M
A course left out of the GPA adds no points and no hours. In the calculator, choose its code or “Not counted”; a code that counts as zero lowers the GPA like a failing grade.
How Texas A&M counts each code
Code
What it means
In the Texas A&M GPA
S or U
Satisfactory or Unsatisfactory, in a course taken S/U
An S (a C or above) stays out of your GPA. A U (a D or F) counts as an F, 0 points. You choose S/U when you register and normally can’t switch later. Rule
I
Incomplete: you finished the course except a major quiz, the final exam or other work
Left out of your GPA while it stands. If it isn’t resolved by the last day of classes of the next fall or spring semester you enroll in (unless your dean extends it), or if you register for the course again, it becomes an F. Rule
Q
Q-drop: a course dropped without penalty
Left out of your GPA. Undergraduates normally get four Q-drops in all. Rule
W
Withdrew: a late drop your dean allowed for unusual circumstances
No grade points, and the hours count in your GPA, like an F. Rule
Repeated course
You took the same course again
A retake doesn’t erase the first grade: both grades count in your GPA, and an F or U stays even after you pass. The course counts once toward your degree. Retake a course before you finish a more advanced course in the same subject. Retaking a course you passed at Texas A&M with a B or better earns no grade points, unless the catalog says the course can be repeated for credit. Rule
Transfer credit
Grades from another college
Only grades from courses you took at Texas A&M count in your GPA. Credit by exam also stays out of the GPA for Latin honors. Rule

What it means
Also required
Below 2.00 semester or cumulative GPA
Scholastically deficient
Also below 2.00 in your major, or below your college’s or major’s GPA requirements. After review, your dean may warn you, let you continue on scholastic probation, or dismiss you from your college or major; you can also be suspended from the university. Full rule
3.5 or higher in a semester or summer term
Distinguished Student (3.75 or higher: Dean’s Honor Roll as well)
At least 15 graded hours in a semester or 12 in a summer term, with no grade below C. S hours don’t count toward the minimum, and Q, W and NG grades aren’t part of the 15 graded hours. Any I or U rules you out. First-semester freshmen also need no Q-drops. Full rule
3.50 or higher cumulative at Texas A&M
Latin honors: cum laude 3.50 to 3.699, magna cum laude 3.70 to 3.899, summa cum laude 3.90 or above
At least 60 semester hours completed at Texas A&M (including Galveston or Qatar) before graduation. Credit by exam doesn’t count. Upper Division students found responsible for academic misconduct can’t receive Latin honors. Full rule
To see how far you are from one of them, enter it under “Compare with a GPA line” in the calculator, or as your target in the target GPA planner.
A worked example
On S/U, a D becomes a U, which counts as an F. A 3-hour A, a 3-hour B and a 3-hour course taken S/U where your work earned a D: (4 × 3 + 3 × 3 + 0 × 3) ÷ 9 = 2.33. With the D as a letter grade it would be (4 × 3 + 3 × 3 + 1 × 3) ÷ 9 = 2.67, and with an S the course would stay out: 21 ÷ 6 = 3.50.
The calculator gives an estimate from the grades you enter. Your official GPA is the one on your Texas A&M academic record.
For any other college, the college GPA calculator starts on the common plus/minus 4.0 points and takes your school’s own. Cumulative GPA combines terms you already have, and the GPA guide answers what a GPA means.
