How University of Utah calculates GPA
University of Utah (Utah) calculates GPA as a credit-weighted average: multiply each course's grade points by its credits, add them up, and divide by total credits. The detail that matters is the grade scale.
The Utah grade scale — what makes it specific
A+ rule: Utah uses a 4.0 plus/minus scale topping out at A = 4.0 (no A+ boost) and running down to D- = 0.7. The failing grade is 'E' (= 0.0), not F.
Failing grade: University of Utah uses "E" for a failing grade (0.0).
Repeated courses & grade replacement
Repeat handling follows University policy. CR/NC option (up to 15 hours): CR replaces A through C-, NC replaces D+ through E; neither affects the GPA.
Academic standing
Minimum 2.0 GPA; below 2.0 for three consecutive semesters risks suspension. Dean's List is 3.5 on 12+ graded hours.
Latin honors at graduation

Good to know
Utah has two features generic calculators miss: the failing grade is 'E' (worth 0), not F, and the official scale has no A+ — it tops out at a plain A = 4.0 and runs the full plus/minus ladder down to D- = 0.7. Utah's policy spells out these grade-point values exactly (A=4.0, A-=3.7, ... D-=0.7, E=0.0).
