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.

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.
