How to Calculate Your Grade Point Average
The University of Houston operates on a 4.0 point system for calculating grade
point average (GPA); each letter grade earns a specified number of grade points.
Repeated courses are counted in the determination of your UH GPA. However developmental,
remedial and ESL courses are not used in the calculation of your UH GPA. Grades
of S, U, I, and W are not assigned grade point values and are not used in the
computation of the grade point average.

To calculate a GPA, divide the total grade points earned divided by the number
of semester hours taken here at UH.
Example: A student made an A- in a 3 hr. class, B in a 3 hr. class, C in a
3 hr. class, and a B+ in a 5 hr. class.
