The Grade Point Ratio (GPR) is determined by dividing the number of grade points earned by the number of hours attempted. Courses for which a
grade of S, W, Q, or NG was given are excluded from the GPR calculation. Grades of U are included in the GPR calculation for undergraduate
students; grades of U are excluded from the GPR calculation for graduate students. NOTE: Official GPR calculations for
graduate students must be done by the Office of Graduate Studies since only those courses listed on the graduate degree plan are included in
the official GPR.
Each letter grade carries the following grade point value per credit hour: A=4; B=3; C=2; D=1; F or U=0.
The following example illustrates how to calculate a Grade Point Ratio (GPR) for an undergraduate student when the student's registration
includes a course for which the grade of S was earned.

Dividing 26 grade points by 13 ATTEMPTED hours yields a GPR of 2.000.
*The one hour of credit earned for KINE 199 is not used in calculating the GPR. That hour will, however, be included in the student's PASSED
hours for the semester.
The same student's GPR calculation would differ if he/she had earned a grade of U in KINE 199.

Dividing 26 grade points by 14 ATTEMPTED hours yields a GPR of 1.857. Because the GPR is now below 2.0, the student is considered
scholastically deficient and may be placed on scholastic probation or blocked from further registration by his/her academic dean.
Students should contact their academic dean's office for details on their college's probation policy.
**A grade of U affects the Grade Point Ratio in the same manner as a grade of F for undergraduate students. Attempted hours for which the
student earned a grade of U are included in the GPR calculation; no grade points are earned, and the student does not receive credit for the
course.
To calculate a cumulative undergraduate Grade Point Ratio for all course work completed at Texas A&M University, you must divide the total
GRADE POINTS earned for all semesters enrolled by the total number of ATTEMPTED hours for all semesters enrolled. Do not
add the semester GPRs for each term then divide by the number of terms.
