UConn GPA Calculator

Use this UConn GPA calculator to estimate your University of Connecticut undergraduate GPA on the official 4.0 scale. Add completed or planned UConn courses to calculate current, cumulative, and projected GPA, test a target GPA, and estimate an eligible repeat where the most recent undergraduate attempt replaces the earlier attempt in GPA calculations.

How to Use the UConn GPA Calculator

Enter your previous UConn GPA and the GPA-bearing credits behind it if you want a cumulative estimate. Then add completed courses with their UConn credits and final grades. You can also add planned courses to see a projected GPA or use the target tool to estimate the average you would need over future credits.

Important: This calculator is designed for the current UConn undergraduate GPA system. Graduate students have a different repeat rule, and historical undergraduate repeats from before Summer 2002 can be treated differently.

UConn GPA Scale

UConn calculates undergraduate GPA from courses graded A through F. The maximum undergraduate grade is A; there is no undergraduate A+ in the current scale.

GradeGrade points per credit
A4.0
A-3.7
B+3.3
B3.0
B-2.7
C+2.3
C2.0
C-1.7
D+1.3
D1.0
D-0.7
F0.0

An F contributes zero grade points, but its GPA-bearing credits still count in the denominator. That means an F can reduce your GPA substantially even though it earns no course credit.

Which UConn Grades Count in GPA?

Standard A–F grades count in the undergraduate GPA. Pass/Fail and S/U marks are different.

Important: F and F@ are not the same for GPA purposes. A standard F is worth 0.0 points and its credits count in GPA; an F@ from the Pass/Fail option is excluded from semester and cumulative GPA.

How UConn Calculates GPA

For each A–F course, multiply the course credits by the grade-point value. Add the grade points from all GPA-bearing courses, then divide by the total GPA-bearing credits.

UConn GPA = total grade points ÷ total GPA-bearing credits

For example, a 3-credit A earns 12.0 grade points and a 3-credit B earns 9.0. Together, that is 21 grade points across 6 credits, for a 3.500 GPA.

Repeating a Course at UConn

For current undergraduate repeats of a course that cannot be repeated for credit, UConn keeps both attempts on the transcript but uses the most recent attempt in the GPA calculation. The earlier attempt is removed from the GPA calculation. This applies even when the newer grade is lower.

A student may ordinarily repeat a course once without permission. A third taking requires approval from the dean of the student’s school or college and the course instructor, and UConn does not allow more than three takings. The calculator’s repeat estimate is limited to a straightforward two-attempt case; third attempts, post-degree repeats, and unusual eligibility questions should be checked with UConn.

Example: If a 3-credit course changes from an A to an F on an eligible repeat, the calculator replaces the earlier 12 grade points with 0 grade points for that course. UConn does not simply keep the better undergraduate grade.

Do Transfer Grades Count in Your UConn GPA?

No. Eligible coursework from another institution may transfer as UConn credit, but the outside grade does not transfer into the UConn GPA. UConn states that its undergraduate quality-point average is calculated from work taken at UConn.

Use the calculator’s external transfer course type only to keep that work excluded from the GPA estimate. Whether a course transfers or satisfies a particular degree requirement is a separate decision.

Undergraduate vs. Graduate UConn GPA

Both undergraduate and graduate grading use a 4.0-based A–F scale, but their repeat rules are different. Current undergraduates use the most recent attempt for an eligible repeat. Graduate students use the highest grade when a course is repeated under the graduate policy.

Because that difference can change the result, this calculator profile is for the undergraduate GPA. Graduate students should calculate from their graduate record using the Graduate Catalog rules rather than applying the undergraduate repeat estimator.

GPA Requirements and Academic Context

A GPA number can mean different things depending on the policy. For financial-aid Satisfactory Academic Progress, UConn currently publishes a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0 for undergraduates and 3.0 for graduate students, along with separate completion-rate and maximum-timeframe requirements.

Dean’s List eligibility is not based on one permanent University-wide cutoff. Students must meet baseline requirements, and the final qualifying average depends on the school or college and the term. Program, major, and graduation requirements can also impose their own standards.

UConn Admission GPA Context

UConn reviews undergraduate applications holistically, so GPA is not the only admission factor. For transfer applicants, UConn says a successful applicant typically has about a 2.7 cumulative GPA on a 4.0 scale, while some restricted programs require at least 3.0 or higher for consideration. Those admission GPAs are not the same thing as your enrolled UConn institutional GPA.

UConn GPA FAQs

Does UConn use a 4.0 GPA scale?

Yes. The current undergraduate scale runs from A = 4.0 through F = 0.0, with plus/minus values between those grades.

Does UConn have an A+ for undergraduates?

No. UConn states that A is the maximum grade an undergraduate can earn under the current undergraduate grading scale.

Does an F count in UConn GPA?

Yes. A standard F is worth 0.0 grade points, and its GPA-bearing credits remain in the GPA calculation.

Does a Pass/Fail F hurt UConn GPA?

A Pass/Fail failure recorded as F@ is excluded from the semester and cumulative GPA. It can still have other academic consequences, so do not treat “excluded from GPA” as the same as “no consequence.”

Does UConn replace a repeated course grade?

For a current eligible undergraduate repeat, the most recent attempt is used in GPA and the earlier attempt is removed from the GPA calculation. The newer grade controls even if it is lower.

Does UConn keep the highest grade when you repeat a class?

Not for the current undergraduate rule. Graduate students use a different policy in which the highest grade is included, which is why undergraduate and graduate repeat calculations should not be mixed.

Do transfer grades affect UConn GPA?

No. Transfer credit can be accepted, but grades from the outside institution do not transfer into the UConn GPA.

What GPA do UConn undergraduates need for financial-aid SAP?

The current published undergraduate SAP minimum is a 2.0 cumulative GPA, together with a 67% completion-rate requirement and a maximum-timeframe standard.

What GPA is needed to transfer to UConn?

UConn says successful transfer applicants typically have a 2.7 cumulative GPA on a 4.0 scale. Some restricted programs require 3.0 or higher for consideration, and meeting a stated minimum does not guarantee admission.
