How to Use the University of Oregon GPA Calculator

Enter your previous UO GPA and GPA-bearing credits if you want to start from an existing cumulative record, then add completed UO courses with their quarter credits and final grades. You can also add planned courses to estimate a projected GPA or use the target tool to see the average needed over future credits.

Important: Use the final grade shown on your UO record. First-term grade forgiveness can change an eligible F or D to a P/N result, so do not assume a conversion before it is posted.

The calculator is designed for the standard undergraduate UO institutional GPA. Graduate and law grading have important differences, so those records should be checked against the appropriate UO policy rather than forced through the undergraduate setup.

University of Oregon GPA Scale

UO assigns quality points to letter grades and weights them by course credits.

Grade	Grade points
A	4.0
A-	3.7
B+	3.3
B	3.0
B-	2.7
C+	2.3
C	2.0
C-	1.7
D+	1.3
D	1.0
D-	0.7
F	0.0

UO does not award A+ as a separate grade-point value. An F contributes zero quality points, but its graded credits still count in the GPA denominator.

Which UO Grades Count in GPA?

Grades A through F count in the standard undergraduate GPA. P, N, I, AU, W, X, and the historical Y mark are disregarded in GPA computation.

Mark	GPA treatment
A through F	Included
P / N	Excluded from standard undergraduate GPA
I	Excluded until resolved to a final grade
AU	Excluded
W	Excluded
X	Excluded until a grade is reported
Y	Historical mark; excluded

A Pass can still carry academic credit even though it does not add quality points to the GPA. GPA treatment, earned credit, academic standing, and financial-aid pace are separate questions.

How UO Calculates GPA

The basic calculation is:

GPA = total quality points ÷ total GPA-bearing credits

For example, a 4-credit A earns 16.0 quality points and a 4-credit B+ earns 13.2. Together, those courses produce 29.2 quality points across 8 credits, for an exact GPA of 3.65.

UO’s official catalog says the GPA is truncated to two digits after the decimal point. The calculator displays three decimals for planning, so your official transcript display may use less precision.

Repeated Courses at UO

For the current policy, repeating a course does not erase the earlier graded attempt from your GPA. Effective fall 2019, all graded attempts of UO courses are included in term and cumulative GPAs. For a nonrepeatable course, credit is awarded only once even though the graded attempts count in GPA.

Calculator limitation: The Repeat Impact button is not used for UO because the shared repeat tool models grade replacement. For current UO records, enter each graded attempt as its own completed course row.

UO had a different undergraduate repeat calculation from fall 2016 through summer 2019, when the second grade could replace the first in cumulative GPA for qualifying nonrepeatable courses. If your record depends on that historical period, use your official transcript or ask the Registrar rather than applying the current count-all rule retroactively.

Transfer Courses and Your UO GPA

Grades earned at another institution do not enter the University of Oregon institutional GPA. Accepted transfer credit can still satisfy degree requirements, but transfer-credit acceptance and UO GPA inclusion are separate.

UO also calculates a transfer GPA for admission. That admissions GPA can include A–F attempts from prior colleges, including repeated courses, so it should not be confused with the GPA you earn after enrolling at UO.

First-Term Grade Forgiveness

UO’s first-term grade-forgiveness policy applies to eligible first-term admitted undergraduates. An eligible F in a course that allows P/N is converted to the P/N grading option, while an eligible D may be changed to P/N by request within the policy deadline.

Because the outcome depends on eligibility, timing, course grading options, and the final record, this calculator does not predict forgiveness. Enter the grade or mark that is actually posted after any approved change.

Academic Standing, Aid, and Honors

These thresholds use different GPA purposes and should not be treated as interchangeable.

Purpose	Current UO standard
Undergraduate good standing	2.00 or higher term and cumulative UO GPA
Undergraduate financial-aid SAP GPA	At least 2.00 cumulative UO GPA, plus pace requirements
Most graduate financial-aid SAP GPA	At least 3.00, plus pace requirements
Graduate satisfactory academic standing	At least 3.00 cumulative graduate GPA, plus other progress rules
Dean’s List	3.75+ term GPA with at least 12 letter-graded credits
Latin honors	Summa 3.95+; magna 3.85–3.94; cum 3.75–3.84, plus eligibility conditions

A calculator result can help with planning, but it does not determine official standing, aid eligibility, honors, or graduation status.

Graduate and Law Grading Differences

Graduate students generally must maintain at least a 3.0 graduate GPA, and graduate P represents work at B- or better. Law has additional grading differences; for example, the Registrar’s grading table notes that an N in law is calculated as F with zero points, unlike the standard undergraduate treatment.

For that reason, this page’s calculator is not presented as a universal graduate or law GPA calculator.

Transfer Admission GPA

For transfer admission consideration, UO currently lists a minimum cumulative transfer GPA of 2.25 for Oregon residents and 2.50 for nonresidents, with a 2.00 standard for applicants holding specified Oregon transfer credentials. UO may recalculate the admission GPA, so it may differ from the GPA printed by a previous college.

University of Oregon GPA FAQs

Does UO have an A+ grade worth more than 4.0?

No. The standard UO scale tops out at A = 4.0. Plus and minus adjustments apply within the published letter-grade system, but there is no separate A+ value above 4.0.

Does a repeated course replace my old grade at UO?

Not under the current policy. Since fall 2019, all graded UO attempts count in term and cumulative GPA, while credit for a nonrepeatable course is awarded only once.

Do transfer grades count in my University of Oregon GPA?

No. Grades from other institutions do not enter the UO institutional GPA, even when the transfer credit is accepted.

Does a P or N affect my UO GPA?

For the standard undergraduate GPA, P and N are excluded from GPA computation. Graduate and law treatment can differ, so students in those records should use the applicable policy.

Does an F count in GPA at UO?

Yes. An ordinary graded F is worth 0.0 quality points and its graded credits remain in the GPA denominator, unless a separate policy such as eligible first-term grade forgiveness changes the final posted grading option.

Does UO round GPA?

The current catalog states that GPA is truncated at two digits after the decimal point. This calculator shows three decimals for planning, so compare official decisions with your UO record.

What GPA is needed for good academic standing at UO?

Undergraduates generally need both a term GPA and cumulative UO GPA of at least 2.00 for good standing. Warning, probation, and disqualification rules include additional details, so use the official academic-progress policy for a specific standing decision.

What GPA do graduate students need at UO?

The Division of Graduate Studies requires at least a 3.00 cumulative graduate GPA for satisfactory academic standing, and individual programs may set stricter requirements.
