Calculation of Grade Point Average
Grades A, B, C, D, and F and the associated semester credit hours will be used to calculate grade point averages. The designations I, Q, W, CR, NC, and AU and the associated semester credit hours will not be used.
If a student repeats a course and requests grade forgiveness, only the last grade earned and the last semester credit hours attempted are used to compute the grade point average. If grade forgiveness is not requested, then both grades will be calculated and used to compute the grade point average (See Repeating Courses and Grade Forgiveness Policy). If the student receives a Q, W or I in the repeated course, then the previous grade continues to be used to compute the grade point average.
Undergraduate courses (numbered 4999 and below), including required prerequisite or leveling courses, will not be counted toward academic program requirements, will not satisfy minimum graduate credits required to be taken at UT Tyler, and will not be entered into the student's graduate grade point average.
Hours and grade points earned at other institutions are not used in computing the grade point average.
