How grades convert to points here

Plus and minus grades count at University of Texas at Austin, with one exception: A+ carries the same 4.00 as an A. The downside modifiers apply in full while the upside one does not, so a perfect 4.00 requires straight A grades with no A- anywhere.

Undergrads need 30+ completed credit hours to take a course pass/fail; a passing grade (D- or higher) posts as CR with no GPA effect, but an F still counts against GPA even under pass/fail registration.

Standing, honors lists, and retakes

Good academic standing at University of Texas at Austin requires a cumulative GPA of at least 2.0. Falling below it typically triggers academic warning, then probation, with dismissal only after sustained shortfall — the escalation gives time to recover.

University of Texas at Austin sets Dean's List at 3.50 for the term. Most schools also require a minimum credit load of letter-graded courses, so a light semester or a heavy pass/fail load can disqualify an otherwise-strong GPA.

On repeated courses: No grade replacement — both grades appear on the transcript and both are averaged into the cumulative GPA. Several colleges (McCombs, Engineering, Liberal Arts, Natural Sciences, Nursing, Pharmacy, Communication) bar repeating for credit a course already passed with C- or better.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does University of Texas at Austin use plus/minus grading?▾
Yes, with one exception: A+ is worth 4.00, the same as an A. Minus grades reduce your average but an A+ cannot raise it above 4.00.
What GPA do you need to stay in good standing at University of Texas at Austin?▾
A cumulative 2.0. Dropping below it usually starts with a warning rather than immediate probation, and schools generally allow at least one term to recover before more serious consequences apply.
If I retake a course at University of Texas at Austin, does the old grade still count?▾
No grade replacement — both grades appear on the transcript and both are averaged into the cumulative GPA. Several colleges (McCombs, Engineering, Liberal Arts, Natural Sciences, Nursing, Pharmacy, Communication) bar repeating for credit a course already passed with C- or better.
Will this match what my registrar shows?▾
It should track your official GPA for standard coursework at University of Texas at Austin. Discrepancies usually come from transfer credit, pass/fail courses, or a repeat policy applied to an earlier attempt — all of which the registrar handles and a calculator cannot see.
