What Is a Good GPA at UIC?

A GPA of 3.3 or higher is considered solid at UIC, where the average undergraduate GPA hovers near 3.3. Dean's List threshold is 3.5 term GPA with at least 12 graded credits. Latin honors require 3.5 / 3.75 / 3.95 cumulative GPA cutoffs.

The average undergraduate GPA at UIC sits near 3.30, drawn from the UIC registrar policy and aggregated reporting. Enter your courses in the calculator above to see where your cumulative GPA lands relative to that figure.

How UIC Calculates GPA

University of Illinois Chicago (UIC) uses a 4.0 grade point scale and does not use plus/minus modifiers, A, B, C, D, F only. 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.

UIC 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 UIC 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.

UIC Grading Policy Notes

UIC uses a non-standard A/B/C/D/F-only grading system with no plus or minus modifiers. This straight letter scale produces fewer GPA gradations than peer schools that distinguish A from A-minus. UIC has the largest medical school in the United States.

UIC Honors and Recognition

Dean's List at UIC

UIC lists students with a GPA of 3.50 or higher on the Dean's List. Dean's List is based on cumulative GPA across all completed terms.

Latin Honors at UIC

Summa cum laude: 3.90 cumulative GPA or above
Magna cum laude: 3.75 cumulative GPA or above
Cum laude: 3.50 cumulative GPA or above

UIC uses whole-letter grades (A, B, C, D, F) without plus/minus modifiers for GPA, a difference from the flagship UIUC campus which does use plus/minus. Dean's List requires 3.5+ with 12+ graded credits. The Honors College requires 3.4+ cumulative and completion of an honors capstone. Latin honors require 60+ UIC graded credits.

Academic Standing and Repeat Policy at UIC

Academic Probation Threshold

UIC 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 UIC

Under UIC's repeat policy, the new grade replaces the old grade in the GPA calculation. 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 UIC

No. UIC does not offer formal grade replacement. Repeated courses count both attempts in the GPA. Some colleges may grant exceptions through petition.

Major GPA Requirements at UIC

Most majors require 2.0 minimum. Liautaud Business School admission requires 2.75+ in prerequisites. Engineering majors require 2.5+ in technical core.

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 To Calculate Cumulative GPA Uic?

A cumulative GPA at UIC rolls every graded course across every term into one credit-weighted average. The calculator multiplies each course's grade points by its credit hours, sums those quality points, and divides by total credits attempted. Enter every course you've completed at UIC to see the current cumulative figure and how it compares to the Dean's List cutoff and the academic probation floor. Always verify with your specific school's registrar.

How To Calculate Overall GPA Uic?

UIC 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 UIC'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 do I calculate my UIC GPA?
