How UTK Calculates GPA

GPA is calculated by dividing the sum of quality points earned by the sum of attempted hours for all courses receiving a grade used in calculating the GPA.

Incomplete (I) grades are not calculated in the GPA. When a course is repeated, the original attempt's hours and quality points are excluded from the GPA, and the repeated attempt's earned hours are excluded from cumulative totals.

Frequently asked questions

What grading scheme does University of Tennessee, Knoxville (UTK) use?
UTK uses a letter-grade grading system on a 0.0–4.0 scale with 12 grade levels: A = 4.00, A- = 3.70, B+ = 3.30, B = 3.00, B- = 2.70, C+ = 2.30, C = 2.00, C- = 1.70, D+ = 1.30, D = 1.00, D- = 0.70, F = 0.00.
Where does this UTK grade scale come from?
From UTK's official grading policy, published at onestop.utk.edu. The grade table on this page is the one the policy sets out, verified Sep 2026.
Does UTK use a different grading scale for any programs?

Yes. The Winston College of Law grades on its own scale, separate from the undergraduate/graduate scale used everywhere else at UT Knoxville. From fall 2006 through summer 2025, the College of Law used a numerical 0.0-4.3 scale; effective fall 2025, it returned to a letter-grade system. This calculator reflects the general undergraduate/graduate scale only.

Veterinary Medicine coursework, by contrast, is graded on the same scale as other graduate coursework -- it is not a separate scale.

How do I convert semester GPA to cumulative GPA at UTK?
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 UTK 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.
