Class GradeCALCULATOR

UConn GPA calculator

UConn grades on a 4.0 scale with pluses and minuses worth tenths: A 4.0, A− 3.7, B+ 3.3, B 3.0 and so on down to D− 0.7 and F 0, with no A+. Retake a course and only your most recent grade counts in your GPA, even if it’s lower, though both grades stay on your transcript. The Dean’s List and Latin honors both need a class rank in your school or college, not just a GPA, so the real cutoffs sit well above the published minimums.

UConn’s points: A 4.00, A− 3.70, B+ 3.30, B 3.00 and so on.

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 UConn’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.

What W, pass/fail, incomplete, retakes and transfer credit do at UConn

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 UConn counts each code
CodeWhat it meansIn the UConn GPA
WWithdrawal: you dropped the course after the second week of classesLeft out of your GPA; a W carries no grade points and no credit. A course you drop in the first two weeks doesn’t appear on your record at all. From the 11th day of classes through the 11th week, you can drop one course for any reason with your advisor’s permission, and it shows as a W. Dropping after the 11th week, or dropping more than one course after the first 10 days, needs an exception from your dean, made only for extenuating circumstances beyond your control; poor academic performance isn’t enough after the 11th week. If you officially withdraw from the University, you get no credits, grades or W’s for that semester. If you just stop attending without dropping, you risk an F. Rule
P@ or F@Pass or Fail in a course you chose to take under the Pass/Fail optionNeither counts in your semester or cumulative GPA, not even the F. Your instructor grades you as usual; a D− or better becomes a P, and anything lower stays an F. If you’re not on academic notice, you can put up to 12 credits on Pass/Fail, at most one course a semester and three courses in all (Spring 2020 P/F credits don’t count toward the limit). Choose Pass/Fail, or switch back to a grade, by the 11th week; after that you need your advisor and your dean, and approval comes only for extenuating circumstances beyond your control. Once you switch back to a grade, you can’t return to Pass/Fail. Pass/Fail courses count only as electives, never toward General Education, Common Curriculum, major, minor, skill or school requirements. Some schools add limits: in the School of Business you can’t use it for any of the School’s departments, and in Engineering a Pass/Fail course earns no credit toward graduation. An instructor’s grade below C in a Pass/Fail course keeps you off the Dean’s List. Rule
S or USatisfactory or Unsatisfactory, in courses the faculty approved for S/U grading; you can’t choose it yourselfNeither earns grade points, so neither enters your GPA, whether or not the course carries credit. No course that fulfills General Education or Common Curriculum requirements can be graded S/U. A U in any course keeps you off the Dean’s List, and S/U credits don’t count toward the 12 calculable credits the list requires. Rule
AUAudit: your record shows you took part in the course, with no credit and no gradeLeft out of your GPA. You take part as the instructor permits, and the instructor can disenroll you if you don’t meet the auditing criteria. Switching a course from credit to audit after the second week gives you both a W and an AU; after the 11th week you need an exception from the dean. Part-time students pay the same fee to audit as to take the course for credit. Rule
I, X or NTemporary grades for unfinished work. I: incomplete, your work so far is passing and you’ve agreed on a make-up schedule. X: you missed the final assessment but could still pass. N: you’ve done few or no assessments and have no make-up plan, so there’s no basis for a gradeNone of them counts in your GPA while it stands, and none earns credit, so they can still put you on academic notice. You must finish the work on your instructor’s schedule and by the end of the third week of the next semester; the Dean of Students can make an exception or extend an I or X with your instructor’s consent. If you miss the deadline, your instructor grades you on the work you did. A passing grade replaces the temporary one; if you fail, your transcript keeps the temporary grade followed by an F. If your instructor thinks you would fail regardless of the final assessment, you get an F instead of an X. Finishing the work can return you to good standing if it lifts you above the University’s minimum standards. Rule
YCourse still in progress: it runs past the end of the regular semesterLeft out of your GPA until your instructor replaces it with a permanent grade when the course ends. If you still have work outstanding then, it changes to the temporary grade that fits. Rule
Repeated courseYou took the same course againYou can repeat a course once without permission to earn a higher grade. A third attempt needs permission from your dean and the instructor, and no course can be taken more than three times. You earn the credit only once. Only your most recent attempt counts in your GPA, even if its grade is lower; the earlier grade stays on your transcript but leaves the GPA. If you fail a retake of a course you had passed, you lose the credit from the first attempt and earn none for the second. Repeating a passed course can also affect financial aid. To retake a course that’s a prerequisite or corequisite for a course you’ve already passed, you need the department head’s permission. A summer or winter retake can change the GPA of the earlier semester whose grade it replaces. A retake after you graduate shows a grade but no credit, and your earlier grade keeps counting. For repeats before Summer Session 2002, both attempts count. If you’ve been away from UConn for at least eight consecutive semesters, you may be eligible for academic renewal when you’re readmitted; the Dean of Students Office answers questions about it. Rule
Transfer creditGrades from another collegeGrades and grade points from other schools don’t transfer, so they never enter your UConn GPA. A course needs a C (2.0) or better to transfer; for a P, CR or similar grade you must supply an official letter-grade equivalent. Check with your advisor, your dean and Transfer Admissions before taking a course elsewhere, or the credits may not apply to your degree. You need at least 30 credits in residence; Education Abroad and Early College Experience courses count as in residence. UConn Early College Experience credits on the degree portion of your transcript count in your GPA; those on the non-degree portion don’t, and your advisor can explain accepting or not accepting them. For AP exams, the department decides whether you get credit for a specific course, can use it for prerequisites or requirements, or neither. Credit by examination posts an A to D− with its grade points; a failed exam isn’t recorded, you can’t take it Pass/Fail, and you can earn at most a quarter of your degree credits this way. Credits earned elsewhere during a suspension aren’t accepted. Rule

UConn GPA lines

These are UConn’s published undergraduate lines, each with the other conditions its catalog sets. Your college or program may set its own, higher lines.

Published GPA lines at UConn
GPA lineWhat it meansAlso required
2.0 semester and cumulativeGood standing; below 2.0 on either puts you on academic notice for your next semesterYou come off notice once both your semester and cumulative GPA reach 2.0. Standing is set only after fall and spring, never summer or winter, though summer and winter grades still change your cumulative GPA. Unfinished I, X or N grades earn no credit; finishing the work returns you to good standing if it lifts you above the minimum. Full rule
Below the 2.0 minimum two fall or spring semesters in a rowSubject to dismissalA semester GPA of at least 2.3, with all your registered courses completed, keeps you from dismissal; you stay on notice until both GPAs reach 2.0. After a first dismissal you can return no sooner than one fall or spring semester later, after a second no sooner than four semesters, and never after a third. Readmitted students stay on notice until both GPAs reach 2.0. Full rule
2.0 cumulativeMinimum to graduateSome schools and colleges require more. You also need at least 120 credits (some schools require more), with at least 30 earned in residence at UConn. Full rule
3.0 semester GPA and the top quarter of your school or collegeDean’s List (full-time)You need at least 12 calculable credits that semester (Pass/Fail and S/U courses don’t count), no grade below C, including the instructor’s grade in a Pass/Fail course, and no U. The real cutoffs run much higher: for Spring 2026 they ranged from 3.520 (Ratcliffe Hicks) to 4.000 (Neag). Students with a reduced courseload accommodation qualify for the full-time list, and a separate annual part-time Dean’s List is calculated each spring. Full rule
3.0, 3.4, 3.7 total GPA with a 75th, 85th, 95th percentile rankCum laude, magna cum laude, summa cum laudeYou need at least 54 calculable credits at UConn, and the rank is within your school or college, so the actual cutoffs run higher: for May 2026 in CLAS they were 3.794 for cum laude, 3.892 for magna and 3.976 for summa. If you finish in summer or fall, the previous spring’s cutoffs apply. Full rule
3.40 cumulativeHonors Scholar in the MajorFor Honors Program students, with at least 15 approved Honors credits in your major or related areas, 12 of them at the 2000 level or above, including at least 3 toward a supervised Honors thesis or creative project. Full rule
2.0 after 12 credits; 2.7 after 24 creditsNon-degree students: keep a C average to continue, and a 2.7 with 24 UConn credits lets you apply for transfer admissionNon-degree status doesn’t guarantee admission to a degree program, and the dean of your new school or college decides whether your non-degree credits count toward the degree.

A worked example

Your latest attempt counts, whatever it is. Say you earn a D+ in a 4-credit chemistry course, with a 3-credit A− and a 3-credit B: (1.3 × 4 + 3.7 × 3 + 3.0 × 3) ÷ 10 = 25.3 ÷ 10 = 2.53. You retake chemistry and earn a B−. The D+ stays on your transcript but leaves your GPA: (2.7 × 4 + 3.7 × 3 + 3.0 × 3) ÷ 10 = 30.9 ÷ 10 = 3.09. Had you failed the retake instead, the F would count, (0 × 4 + 3.7 × 3 + 3.0 × 3) ÷ 10 = 2.01, and you would lose the credit you had earned with the D+.

The calculator gives an estimate from the grades you enter. Your official GPA is the one on your UConn academic record.
