How non-letter marks affect your UC GPA
Several non-letter marks carry grade-point weight even though they are not standard letter grades:
- Incomplete (I): carries no grade-quality points and is not calculated into the GPA for 350 days after it is assigned.
- I/F: if an Incomplete is not resolved within 350 days, it converts to I/F, which carries 0.00 quality points and affects the GPA the same as an F.
- Unofficial Withdrawal (UW or X): carries 0.00 quality points and is calculated into the GPA like an F, whether the student partially attended (UW) or never attended (X).
- Official Withdrawal, no attendance (WX): has no impact on the GPA.
- Audit (T): carries no quality points and does not affect the GPA unless the student is instead assigned a failing grade for not meeting attendance expectations.

Frequently asked questions
What grading scheme does University of Cincinnati (UC) use?
UC uses a letter-grade grading system on a 0.0–4.0 scale with 15 grade levels: 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 = 0.00, I/F = 0.00, UW = 0.00, X = 0.00.
Where does this UC grade scale come from?
From UC's official grading policy, published at uc.edu. The grade table on this page is the one the policy sets out, verified Sep 2026.
Does this calculator work for UC graduate courses?
No. This calculator uses the University of Cincinnati's undergraduate grading scale. Graduate coursework at UC (effective Winter Quarter 2007) uses a separate, narrower 7-grade scale with no D-range at all -- C (2.0000 quality points) is the lowest passing grade, and F (0.0000) is the only failing grade.

How do I convert semester GPA to cumulative GPA at UC?
Your cumulative GPA is the credit-weighted average of your semester GPAs across every semester: (semester GPA₁ × credits₁ + … + semester GPAₙ × creditsₙ) ÷ (credits₁ + … + creditsₙ). Save each semester to the tracker on this page, by course or as a quick semester GPA + credits entry, and it works out your cumulative GPA on every save, edit and delete.
Is this UC GPA calculator free, and is my data private?
Yes. GPAWise is free, with no signup, and your courses and saved semesters stay in your browser: nothing is sent to our servers. "Clear all tracker data" on the tracker wipes them at any time.
