What Is a Good GPA at UF?

A GPA of 3.5 or higher is considered strong at UF, where the average undergraduate GPA sits near 3.45. Dean's List threshold is 3.75 term GPA with at least 12 graded credits. Latin honors require 3.5 / 3.75 / 3.9 cumulative GPA combined with class rank percentile.

The average undergraduate GPA at UF sits near 3.45, drawn from the UF registrar policy and aggregated reporting. Enter your courses in the calculator above to see where your cumulative GPA lands relative to that figure.

How UF Calculates GPA

University of Florida (UF) uses a 4.0 grade point scale and uses plus/minus modifiers (A-, B+, B-, and so on). The school caps A+ at the same 4.0 value as an A, which matters when converting letter grades from a transcript that records A and A+ separately. Each course's grade points multiply by its credit hours, those quality points sum across all courses, and the total divides by total credits attempted.

UF GPA Formula

GPA = Sum(Grade Points x Credit Hours) / Sum(Credit Hours)

Where:

Grade Points = letter-grade value on the 4.0 scale
Credit Hours = credit value of the course on the UF transcript
A+ = 4.0 (same as A on the standard scale)

Example: A 4-credit class with an A (4.0 points) and a 3-credit class with a B+ (3.3 points): quality points = 4 × 4.0 + 3 × 3.3 = 25.9, total credits = 7, GPA = 25.9 / 7 = 3.70.

UF Grading Policy Notes

UF uses the standard 4.0 scale with plus and minus modifiers. A+ records but caps at 4.0. Grade Forgiveness limited to two courses (8 credit hours) where original grade was C-minus or worse. Latin honors combine GPA cutoffs with class rank.

UF Honors and Recognition

Dean's List at UF

UF lists students with a GPA of 3.75 or higher on the Dean's List. Dean's List is based on cumulative GPA across all completed terms.

Latin Honors at UF

UF Dean's List requires 3.75+ with 12+ graded UF credits per term. Latin honors at graduation are awarded to the top 5% (summa), next 5% (magna), and next 10% (cum laude) of each college's graduating class; the GPA figures shown are historical cutoffs. UF does not award A+ grades (no A+ on the transcript).

Academic Standing and Repeat Policy at UF

Academic Probation Threshold

UF places students on academic probation when their cumulative GPA drops below 2.0. Probation usually triggers mandatory advising, restricts course registration, and can affect financial aid or scholarships. Use the calculator to model remaining semesters and see how many A or B grades would lift the GPA back above the 2.0 floor.

Repeating a Course at UF

Under UF's repeat policy, both attempts remain on the transcript and count toward the GPA. This calculator treats every entered row as a distinct graded attempt; if your school replaces the old grade, leave off the original, and if both count, enter both lines. Always confirm the final transcript version with the registrar before relying on a projected GPA.

Grade Forgiveness at UF

Yes. University of Florida offers Grade Forgiveness for two courses (max 8 credit hours) where students earned a C-, D, or E. The repeat grade replaces the original in the GPA, though both attempts remain on the transcript.

Major GPA Requirements at UF

Most majors require 2.0 minimum cumulative. Warrington College of Business admission requires 3.5+ in business prerequisites. Engineering majors require 2.5+ in technical core.

Accuracy Note

This calculator follows the grading policy published by the UF registrar as of 2026-04-18. Policies are reviewed periodically; the "Last verified" date in the footer reflects the most recent confirmation. Always cross-check your final GPA against your official transcript. The tool models the same formulas registrars use but cannot account for grade forgiveness petitions, audit decisions, or exceptions approved by the dean of students.

Frequently asked questions

How Does UF Recalculate GPA?

UF calculates GPA by converting each letter grade to grade points on the 4.0 scale, multiplying by the course's credit hours, summing the quality points, and dividing by total credits attempted. Plus/minus modifiers and course repeats follow UF's published registrar rules, the calculator above mirrors the same arithmetic. For a quick check on where your current term sits, enter each course with its grade and credit load and compare the result to the Dean's List and probation thresholds. Always verify with your specific school's registrar.

How Does UF Calculate GPA for Admission?

For admission, UF evaluates your cumulative GPA alongside course rigor, school context, and the rest of your application. The number you enter above mirrors the 4.0 calculation UF's registrar uses on official transcripts. Admissions reviewers sometimes recalculate submitted GPAs to the unweighted 4.0 standard for apples-to-apples comparison, so the figure here represents a reliable baseline. Always verify with your specific school's registrar.

Does UF Count Electives When Calculating GPA High School?

UF admissions reviews your reported high school GPA in context with your course rigor, school profile, and official transcript. The calculator above converts letter grades to 4.0 grade points (A = 4.0, B = 3.0, C = 2.0, D = 1.0) and weights each course by credit or Carnegie unit. Honors, AP, and IB courses typically carry a weighted bonus on applicant reports, though UF recalculates on an unweighted basis for internal review. Always verify with your specific school's registrar.

How Does UF Calculate GPA for Transfer Students?

UF's transfer-credit policy typically brings external courses onto your record as credit without transferring the underlying grade into the UF GPA. Your UF GPA is then built from grades earned after matriculation. Use the calculator above to model that in-residence GPA by entering only UF coursework. Transfer grades still appear on the transcript for context, and prerequisite GPAs for majors may include transferred courses. Always verify with your specific school's registrar.

How do I calculate my UF GPA?

Enter each UF course you have taken, select your letter grade, and enter the credit hours from your transcript. The calculator converts each grade into grade points on the standard 4.0 scale, multiplies by credit hours, and divides by total credits. UF uses plus/minus modifiers (A-, B+, B-, and so on) and caps A+ at the same 4.0 value as an A, which this calculator reflects by default.

What GPA do I need for the UF Dean's List?

UF requires a GPA of 3.75 or higher to qualify for the Dean's List. Honors recognition here is based on class rank rather than a fixed GPA cutoff, so the number above is an approximate historical threshold.

What is the GPA cutoff for academic probation at UF?

At UF, students fall into academic probation when their GPA drops below 2.0. Probation status typically restricts course registration, triggers mandatory advising, and may affect financial aid eligibility. Use this calculator to check where your current term and cumulative averages land relative to the 2.0 floor.

What are UF's Latin honors thresholds?

If I retake a course at UF, how does it affect my GPA?

UF's repeat policy is that both attempts remain on the transcript and count toward the GPA. This calculator lets you model either scenario, enter just the most recent grade to see a replace-style GPA, or enter both attempts to see how an average-counting or both-count policy would shape your transcript.
