Completed grades are listed in an unofficial transcript that is accessible through MyUI. Log in to MyUI and click on the Student Information header at the top of the page. Under Courses and Grades click on Grades. Though it is an unofficial report, the completed grades report is a reflection of official grades on file in the Registrar’s Office.
Grade Point Average (GPA)
Understanding how your GPA is calculated is important information to have. GPA is calculated on the following scale, factoring in both letter grade and credit hours associated with the course. Please see your Degree Audit for minimum GPA requirements to earn your degree. Additional information can be found on the Registrar’s Office website.
Grade points for each semester hour:
A+ = 4.33 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
F = 0
Not used in computing grade point average:
N = Nonpass
P = Pass
S = Satisfactory
U = Unsatisfactory
