Class GradeCALCULATOR

UNH GPA calculator

UNH grades on a 4.00 scale where a plus adds 0.33 and a minus takes away 0.33: A 4.00, A− 3.67, B+ 3.33, B 3.00 and so on down to D− 0.67 and F 0. Retake a UNH course and only the new grade counts in your GPA, though both grades stay on your transcript. Your GPA is cut to two decimals, never rounded, and an F you earn under the pass/fail option stays out of it.

UNH’s points: A 4.00, A− 3.67, B+ 3.33, 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 UNH’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.

Grade points at UNH

UNH 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.

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

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 UNH counts each code
CodeWhat it meansIn the UNH GPA
AFAdministrative Failure: you stopped going to a course without officially dropping or withdrawingCounts as an F (0.00) in your GPA. It can also affect federal financial aid and veteran or military benefits. Rule
P, or F under pass/failPass or Fail in a course you chose to take under the pass/fail optionNeither enters your GPA: a P earns credit, and an F under pass/fail earns no credit but isn’t figured into your average either. Both show on your transcript. A D− (0.67) or better passes, and your instructor gives a letter grade without knowing you chose pass/fail. Bachelor’s students can take up to 4 pass/fail credits a semester and 16 in all (associate students: 8). In your first term you can switch up to 4 credits until the Friday of the 10th week; after that, only until the end of the add period (the second Friday of classes), with your advisor’s approval either way. You can’t use pass/fail for Core Curriculum, Writing Intensive, major or minor requirements, the foreign language requirement, or a repeat. Business administration, economics and hotel administration majors can’t take Paul College courses pass/fail. Pass/fail credits don’t count toward the 12 letter-graded credits for the Dean’s List. Rule
CR, or F in a credit/fail courseCredit or Fail in a course the university grades credit/fail because letter grades don’t fit its formatNeither enters your GPA: an F in a credit/fail course isn’t figured into your average, and CR courses are left out of it. The catalog says CR is given in credit/fail courses; the Registrar’s Grades page describes CR as given under the pass/fail option. CR credits don’t count toward the 12 letter-graded credits for the Dean’s List or the 64 graded credits for Latin honors. Rule
WWithdrawn: you left the course after the drop period endedLeft out of your GPA, but it stays on your transcript. A course dropped during the drop period (the second Friday for a full-term fall course) doesn’t appear at all. For full-term courses, the last day to withdraw is the ninth Friday in fall and the tenth Friday in spring. Rule
AUAudit: you attend a course without earning creditEarns no credit and carries no grade points. You need your advisor’s and instructor’s approval, and the deadline is the last day to drop without academic liability. If you don’t meet the instructor’s criteria, you’re dropped from the course. Rule
ICIncomplete Coursework: you finished most of the course and your instructor gave you more timeIt’s a notation, not a grade, and carries no grade points. You can get one only if a major portion of the work is done and your instructor approves, and finishing it is up to you. The completion form is due to the Registrar by the middle of the next semester; your dean grants an extension only under unusual circumstances. If you don’t finish in time, it becomes an F, which counts as 0.00. An IC in your final semester delays your graduation, even if you don’t need the course. Incomplete courses can also lead to an Academic Exclusion hold. Rule
IAContinuing Course or Thesis: a thesis or course that runs more than one semester is still in progressCarries no grade points. The grade you earn at the end replaces the IA from earlier semesters. Rule
IXGrade not reported: your instructor hasn’t turned in your gradeCarries no grade points. No grade appears until your instructor submits it; late grades usually update in Webcat within 24 hours. Rule
NRNot Resolved: an academic integrity allegation is still pendingCarries no grade points while the allegation is pending. Rule
Repeated courseYou took the same course againWhen you repeat a UNH course, your earlier credits and grade points come out of your cumulative GPA and only the new grade counts. Both grades stay visible on your transcript, with a note marking the repeat. You earn the credit only once. The course numbers and titles must match exactly; otherwise you need a Petition for Variance in Academic Policy with your advisor’s written permission and your dean’s endorsement. You can’t repeat a course pass/fail, and both attempts must be UNH courses, so a course taken elsewhere can’t replace a UNH grade. Separately, if you’ve taken no UNH courses for 5 or more consecutive years, you can ask once, before readmission, for Educational Reprieve: all your earlier UNH work leaves your GPA and a new one starts. You keep credit for courses with a C− or better and for credit/fail and pass/fail courses, the old GPA stays on your record for information, and graduation honors then use the new GPA, once you have enough graded credits after the reprieve. A Durham or Manchester student away 3 or more years can ask for it when applying to a CPS Online program. Rule
Transfer creditGrades from another collegeNo course from another school counts in your UNH GPA, and transfer grades don’t appear on your UNH transcript, except for study away credit. A course transfers only from a regionally accredited school with a C− or higher, and pass/fail or credit/fail courses don’t transfer (except labs tied to a lecture course). If you already have credit for a UNH course, the same course taken elsewhere earns no credit and can’t replace your UNH grade. For AP or CLEP credit, the College Board must send your official scores to UNH, and the Registrar reviews them. Up to 96 transfer credits can count toward a Durham or Manchester bachelor’s degree. Courses you take elsewhere while suspended don’t transfer. Rule

Your GPA is calculated to two decimal places and is not rounded, so a 3.849 shows as 3.84.

UNH GPA lines

These are UNH’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 UNH
GPA lineWhat it meansAlso required
2.00 semester and cumulativeGood standingYou need both a semester and a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher. UNH reviews your record at the end of each fall and spring semester. Full rule
Below 2.00 semester or cumulativeAcademic warning, and possibly an Academic Exclusion holdThe catalog’s Grades page says you are placed on academic warning. The Registrar says an Academic Exclusion hold may be placed on your registration, and you must meet with your college’s associate dean to make a plan. If the hold isn’t resolved, your registration and campus housing are canceled, and you can be suspended or dismissed. Full rule
1.0–1.49 semester GPA in your first semesterAcademic ExclusionApplies if you attempted at least 12 semester hours. Full rule
Below 1.0 semester GPA in your first semesterAcademic SuspensionApplies to first-semester freshmen and transfer students who attempted at least 12 semester hours. Full rule
Below the minimum GPA for your attempted creditsAcademic Suspension, then dismissalThe catalog doesn’t publish the minimum for each credit level. Suspension lasts at least one fall or spring semester, and courses you take elsewhere meanwhile don’t transfer. If you’ve been suspended once and your cumulative GPA stays below the minimum, you’re dismissed and readmitted only in extraordinary circumstances. Both show on your official transcript. Appeals succeed only for documented, compelling, non-academic reasons. Full rule

The catalog sets summa at 3.85; the Registrar’s Academic Honors page lists it as 3.84–4.00. 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

A retake replaces your first grade, and the result is cut, not rounded. Say you earn a C in a 4-credit course, with a 3-credit A− and a 3-credit B+: (2.00 × 4 + 3.67 × 3 + 3.33 × 3) ÷ 10 = 2.90. You retake the course and earn a B−. The C’s credits and grade points come out, and the B− goes in: (2.67 × 4 + 3.67 × 3 + 3.33 × 3) ÷ 10 = 3.168. UNH cuts that to 3.16, not 3.17. Both the C and the B− stay on your transcript.

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