University of Florida CGPA Calculator

Gainesville, Florida · public · est. 1853

UF works out CGPA by weighting every course grade by its credit hours. Multiply a course's grade point by its credit hours to get quality points, then divide the total quality points from all your semesters by the total credit hours those courses carry. The grade points come from the official UF grading scale shown below, a 12-band table topping out at 4.00 for A from 93%, so CGPA is reported out of 4.00. The lowest passing grade is D-, awarded from 60%.

University of Florida grading scale

UF grades on an absolute scale out of 4.00 with 12 bands. A mark of 93% or above earns A (4.00), and 60% is the lowest passing band (D-). The calculator above already applies these bands, so you can enter raw marks instead of letters.

Confirms the full grade-point table (effective May 11, 2009): A=4.0, A-=3.67, B+=3.33, B=3.0, B-=2.67, C+=2.33, C=2.0, C-=1.67, D+=1.33, D=1.0, D-=0.67, with E as the failing grade at 0 points and WF (Withdrawn Failing), I (Incomplete treated as failing if unresolved), and NG (No Grade) also carrying 0 points and counting in the GPA. UF's own catalog also notes 'a grade of S is equal to a C (2.0) or better' for its Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory option, though S/U themselves carry no grade points.

How grading works at UF

The University of Florida computes GPA with the standard credit-weighted formula, and its undergraduate catalog spells out the full plus/minus scale down to the smallest detail, including a genuinely distinctive naming choice worth flagging: UF's failing grade is lettered E, not F, matching Michigan and Ohio State's convention rather than the more familiar F used at UT Austin, Georgia Tech, or Texas A&M.

Chartered in 1853 and now one of the largest research universities in the United States by enrollment, UF's grading policy (in force since May 2009) runs the full twelve-grade ladder from A at 4.0 down through D- at 0.67 in the usual roughly-a-third-of-a-point steps, before E and several other zero-point marks, WF (Withdrawn Failing) and NG (No Grade) among them, all count as zero in the cumulative GPA rather than being excluded from it the way a true withdrawal or audit would be.

UF also runs a Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory option for some coursework, and its own catalog is specific that 'a grade of S is equal to a C (2.0) or better' in terms of the underlying performance required, even though S itself carries no grade points and does not move the GPA either direction. UF does not publish one official percentage-to-letter-grade table applied to every course; the percentage bands here use the common convention layered on top of UF's own confirmed, catalog-sourced grade-point values.

Worked example: a full semester on the UF scale

Here is a complete 15 credit-hour semester scored against the UF grade points in the table above. The marks are illustrative, but every number after them is calculated the same way the calculator on this page calculates yours.

Step by step

  1. Convert each course mark to a grade point. Work out each course as a percentage of its total marks, then read the letter off the UF grading table. 97 out of 100 is 97%, which falls in the A band and is worth 4.00 grade points.
  2. Multiply each grade point by the course credit hours. Credit hours decide how much each course counts, so multiply to get quality points: 3 × 4.00 = 12.00, 4 × 3.33 = 13.32, 3 × 2.67 = 8.01, 3 × 2.00 = 6.00, 2 × 1.33 = 2.66.
  3. Add the quality points and the credit hours. Adding the five courses gives 41.99 quality points across 15 credit hours.
  4. Divide to get the semester GPA. 41.99 ÷ 15 = 2.79, the semester GPA for this term at UF.
  5. Fold the semester into your CGPA. If you had already completed 45 credit hours at a CGPA of 3.20, those carry 144.00 quality points. Add this semester and the CGPA becomes (144.00 + 41.99) ÷ (45 + 15) = 3.10.

The division actually gives 2.7993; result cards print two decimals, so it appears as 2.79. Notice how the 4-credit course moves the average roughly twice as hard as the 2-credit lab. That credit-hour weighting is the whole reason a GPA is not just the average of your grade points.

Which UF programmes use this scale?

The same grading plan applies across UF’s degree programmes, including Warrington College of Business, Herbert Wertheim College of Engineering, College of Journalism and Communications and UF Health / College of Medicine. Credit-hour loads differ by programme (a typical semester runs 15 to 18 credit hours), but the marks-to-grade-point mapping above does not change between them.

UF CGPA: frequently asked questions

Why does UF use E instead of F for a failing grade?

UF's undergraduate catalog defines E as the university's failing grade, worth zero grade points, a genuine, sourced naming difference from schools like UT Austin, Georgia Tech, or Texas A&M that use F. Michigan and Ohio State share UF's E convention.

What is UF's official grade-point scale?

Per the UF Undergraduate Catalog (effective May 2009): A=4.00, A-=3.67, B+=3.33, B=3.00, B-=2.67, C+=2.33, C=2.00, C-=1.67, D+=1.33, D=1.00, D-=0.67, E=0.00. UF also treats WF (Withdrawn Failing) and NG (No Grade) as zero-point grades that count into the GPA, not as excluded marks.

Does a UF S (Satisfactory) grade count toward GPA?

No, S carries no grade points and does not move the GPA in either direction, even though UF's own catalog notes that earning an S requires work equivalent to a C (2.0) or better. It's excluded from the numeric average the same way pass/fail electives are at most US universities.

Is an Incomplete the same as a failing grade at UF?

Not immediately, but it can become one. UF's catalog treats an unresolved Incomplete (I) as carrying zero grade points if it isn't converted to a final grade within the allowed window, similar in effect to E, WF, or NG, so an Incomplete left outstanding too long can pull down a GPA the same way a fail would.

Does UF publish an official percentage cutoff for each grade?

Not university-wide. UF's catalog documents the letter grades and their exact grade-point values centrally, but the specific percentage or rubric an instructor uses to award a grade in their own course is set at that course level, as at most large research universities. This calculator's percentage bands are a standard approximation on top of UF's confirmed grade-point table.
