How to Calculate GPA
The Grade Point Average (GPA) is determined by dividing the number of grade points earned by the number of hours attempted. Courses for which a grade of S, W, Q, or NG was given are excluded from the GPA calculation. Grades of U are included in the GPA calculation for undergraduate students; grades of U are excluded from the GPA calculation for graduate students.
NOTE: Official GPA calculations for graduate students must be done by the Office of Graduate Studies since only those courses listed on the graduate degree plan are included in the official GPA.
Each letter grade carries the following grade point value per credit hour:
| Letter Grade | Grade Points |
|---|---|
| A | 4.00 |
| B | 3.00 |
| C | 2.00 |
| D | 1.00 |
| F | 0.00 |
| U | 0.00 |
**Spring 2020 grade policy adjusted for term to support academic efforts during global pandemic. Grades of F and/or U are excluded from GPA calculations.

Cumulative GPA
To calculate a cumulative undergraduate Grade Point Average for all course work completed at Texas A&M University, you must divide the total GRADE POINTS earned for all semesters enrolled by the total number of ATTEMPTED hours for all semesters enrolled.***Do not add the semester GPAs for each term then divide by the number of terms.***
